TITLE I I FUND.i The Engineering Service~ Department received an allocation of $15,000 on July 7, 19!~ to begin work on a composite map program that would incorporate information that presently is on file in the Engineering Service•, Utilities, and Conununity Development Depar~nta. Between the' months of July and September, 1980, we employed two individuals to work on this project. The first left our temporary poaition to full-time permanent employment after only two weeks. The second employee waa terminated in September after it was determined that he waa unable to perform other related tasks. After extensive re-advertising of the position and with no qualified indivi dual• applying, attempt• to fill the position were temporarily d i scontinued. Thia project, which would be of great value to the Ci ty and utilized by many departments, is a major undertaking. I would estimate completion of the maps by a full-time, professional draftsperson could easily require three to four years of dedicated service and coat upward• of $60,000 in wages alone. Securing a qual i fied individual for this endeavor has been a major problem s i nce the beginning. Those qualified individuals that we have employed have all moved onto full-time employment elsewhere, and have utilized our position as fill-in employment. In addition to being an experienced draftsperson, due to the nature of the infor- mation being incorporated into the maps, an individual for this position must also possess a thorough understanding of survey land control. A• much as SO• of the time requirement of the job is spent researching and compiling information on utilities, streets, storm sewers, land uses, etc., from existing records in various depart- amnta. Of our original $15, 000 allocation approxima1.tely $13, 300 was not used. I would again aak that these monies be applied to securing another individual to work on this project. Keeping in mind, however that this funding is only a downpayment on this mapping project. In the paat we hired pepole in the $5.50-6.50 per hour range. I would expect that to recruit the experienced individual, that we need for this temporary position, we will have to pay in the $8.00-10.00 per hour range. Thia funding will only give us a beginning and unless the City is willing to make a permanent conunitment to a long-range program and completion of the maps, the money will have been wasted. If the City feel• that this program is a worthwhile undertaking, I will attempt budgeting for a full-time draftsperson for 1982 and beyond • --.... 1., MIMORARDUM - • TO: FIOM: DATE: SUIJICT: Rich Wanuah, Aaaiatant City Manager Gary Blab••· Director ~f .~1\a~~7 Auauat 12, 1981 t ~ lxc••• Title 11 Pund• l would like to requeet an additional $7,000 of excess Title II fund• that were left over at the end of th• year FY 1980 from th• &naineerina Depart•ent 1980 allocation.

BACIGR<l.I ND On March 12, 1979, the Council passed Resolution No. 12, Series of 1979, appropriating $66,307 of Title II Funds to various City Departments. These funds were to be used to generate employment and can only be used to hire personnel. Since these funds were not fully spent, Resolution No. 31 of 1980 was passed in July of 1980 appropriating $33,673 of the funds remaining to Engineering Services and to C01m1Unity Development. CURRENT STAnJS IA of August 1, 1981, $23,727 remains unspent. The Department of Engineering Service• and the Department of Finance have requested funds to continue programs already underway. A 1979 study reconaended that an upgrading of the Records Management System in the City Clerk's Office be undertaken. The amount of $7,000 is needed to complete this. 1be Department of Engineering Services has had an ongoing program to develop base .. pa for the entire City. Title II Funds have already been used to begin this effort and they would like to use the remaining $16,727 to do additional mapping. RECOMMENDATION Appropriate the remaining $23,727 of Title II Funds as follows: Engineering Services Finance Total $16,727 7,000 $23,727
