a.
1997-1998 EQUIPMENT BUDGET
Mr. Roger J. 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
