TYPE OF PROGRAM ADJUSTMENT
DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM
1 New Maintenance Mechanic to work in the Plant Maintenance Division because of Clinton Plant Expansion; the amount of equipment will be doubled following completion of the project.  This employee will perform skilled labor in the maintenance, repair and related service activities for the city's water treatment plants.
BENEFITS OF FUNDING PROGRAM
With the current expansion set to complete in 2008, the equipment at Clinton Plant will essentially be doubled.  The Department needs another Maintenance mechanic to fully staff the Clinton Plant, especially during the summer months.
ESTIMATE AND EXPLANATION OF NEW REVENUE
All costs involved are covered within the confines of the rate plan.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING PROGRAM
The expansion of the Clinton Plant is necessitated by the constant growth of the City of Lawrence.  The added strain on plant equipment from doubling the size of the Plant makes it necessary to have another maintenance mechanic to cover equipment breakdowns and routine maintenance at Clinton Plant.  In our continued efforts to provide excellent city service, not funding this program would increase O & M costs due to inefficiencies related to indadequate staf numbers.
POSITIONS INVOLVED IN PROGRAM IMPROVEMENT
One new Maintenance mechanic position within the Water Treatment Division/Water Utility.
