Dolan, General Manager-Chief Engineer, stated that the 1997-1998 Equipment Budget is higher than last year in part because it is proposed that a number of vehicles be replaced. Mr. Dolan stated that when replacement of vehicles is discussed, he would like to discuss a vehicle allowance as an alternative to replacing the vehicle assigned to him. Member Boneysteele suggested modifications to the format and presentation of the Equipment Budget. Specifically, that the larger type size be used throughout the document and that unreadable illustrations be replaced. Mr. Dolan stated that those changes will be made. Member Boneysteele also inquired into trade in or salvage value of equipment being replaced. Following discussion, it was agreed that a table will be included with the position paper listing the estimated salvage value, if any, of each item. Copies of the 1997-1998 Equipment Budget had been previously distributed to the Board. Deputy General Manager Paul Morsen, Deputy Chief Engineer Robert A. Baker, Plant Operations Department Manager Charles W. Batts, and Collection System Operations Department Manager John A. Larson reviewed their respective department's Equipment Budget requests. In discussion of the individual requests, Member Boneysteele asked to see a sample of the proposed Payroll Check Processing System, and he requested clarification of the description of the Internal Tape Backup. President Menesini requested an update on the Illicit Discharge Program. Mr. Baker stated that an update will be provided after the program is up and running. The AugustlSeptember time frame might allow sufficient start up time. It was noted that the estimated cost of the Autovap Sample Processing System will be increased from $44,000 to $47,403 to include extraction tubes needed to operate the equipment. With regard to the proposed purchase of a sedan to replace the nine-year old vehicle currently assigned to the General Manager-Chief Engineer, Mr. Dolan proposed that the Board consider a car allowance instead of replacing the assigned vehicle. If the Board does not disagree, a position paper will be presented for Board consideration at an 04 10 97 100 upcoming meeting. Following discussion, it was agreed that the issue of providing a vehicle allowance will be scheduled for further discussion by the Board.
