The first area to be examined was turf maintenance and bids were solicited for this work. Six bids were received for contractors to mow, edge, fertilize and spray for weeds all the turf in the City. The low bid contractor is anticipating that our City will require him to provide six full time workers vs. the City's utilization of ten maintenance workers. To balance the economics of contracting out verses maintaining some in-house workforce flexibility, staff advocated that the City only contract out portions of the turf maintenance keeping a small in-house crew to handle emergency situations and special requests. The award of the turf maintenance contract will result in the need to eliminate eight maintenance worker positions. Of these eight positions, three will become vacated via early retirement and the remaining five positions will be eliminated via layoffs. Council member Bowman suggested the award of contract be discussed first. Responding to Councllmember Kerry, the Public Works Director advised that the contractor would be willing to interview those individuals being laid off for consideration, but there were no guarantees.

He asked the City Council consider what will happen in the next ten years and stated he believed that there were other ways to look at the situation. Council member Nicholson commented that the Council has thought about this for a long time and, unfortunately, the decision had to be made to layoff some employees. Mr. Mike Douthit, 7507 Tulare street, Buena park, president of the Cypress Maintenance Employees' Association, mentioned the growth of the City and the decrease in Maintenance employees over the last few years. The Maintenance Department is being asked to take the biggest cuts of all the departments and they are only 22.5% of the 8 194 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUly 25, 1994 budget. He asked for fairness and he believed there were other alternatives that the Council should look at. Council member Bowman thanked them for their comments. They have brought up issues the Council has thought about. There is a big demographic change occurring in Southern california and questions are being asked as to who's going to pay for the services. This was a decision that had to be made and he believed it was the correct decision, but it is painful. Councllmember Age stated that the City is working very hard to bring additional business into the community. When the economy is down, this is a very difficult decision to make.
