Official Text

Dear Honorable Board of Alderman:

I request approval of a transfer in the amount of $32,000.00 from DPW Sanitation Ordinary Maintenance (Org.0140652) Recycling (Account 529006) to School Custodians Personal Services (Org. 0141151) Overtime (Account 513000) to fund a projected deficit in the overtime account for the rest of the fiscal year. The school custodian work would be performed by a contractor. When it was decided that a majority of custodians would still be employed, increasing the overtime budget to account for the additional employees was overlooked.  The amended $37,000.00 overtime budget is proportionate to prior fiscal year overtime budgets per the number of custodians working.

With these additional costs, the contract with AM-PM Cleaning Corporation still saved the City $666,494.00 in FY11 with a three year estimated savings of $2,223,835.00.  The attached spreadsheet contains the appropriate details.

Available recycling funds for this transfer result form the reduced cost of processing recycling commodities, specifically paper.

Respectfully submitted,

Joseph A. Curtatone

Mayor
