position or a part time position dedicated to Arden Hills. The timelines for these options vary. • Shared full-time employee (FTE): A shared FTE would not possible until 2011. This is the result of the City's budgeting cycle. Roseville does not have the funds available to pay for a half FTE in the 2010 budget. We would need to work with Arden Hills to determine a set number of additional hours based on what your long term engineering needs are, and then justify the remaining hours as a part of Roseville's 2011 budget process. If this is acceptable to both the Arden Hills and Roseville City Councils, it would address the long term need, but would not address our ability to deliver the 2010 Work Plan. • Part-time employee (PTE): if a PTE was hired that was not a shared employee, the timeline could be shorter. It would require the amendment of the JPA to expand the minimum hours to cover a set number of hours based on what your long term engineering needs are and the approval of the amended JPA by both Cities. Once that is complete, it would take around three months to advertise and hire a new employee. This still would not address our ability to deliver the 2010 Work Plan. Both of these scenarios would require that some of the tasks in the 2010 Work Plan be moved to 2011. As a part of the February discussion regarding additional Roseville JPA hours, the Council was provided financial spreadsheets showing the 2009 engineering expenditures. This information showed all monies paid out to Roseville and Consulting companies to complete the 2009 Work Plan. Attached is a table summarizing the work that could have been completed with Roseville engineering staff if there was available capacity? 3. Can some of the 2010 Work Plan items be pushed to the end of the year/2011? We have highlighted six tasks on the work plan that we recommend be shifted to 2011. This would reduce the 2010 work plan to 1,621.25 Engineering Hours and 982.75 Technician Hours. This still would not address our ability to deliver the 2010 Work Plan. Recommended Option: At this time Staff is recommending that both option 1 and 3 be implemented. This would reduce the 2010 work plan to 1,425.25 Engineering Hours and 950.75 Technician Hours. While this is still 706 over the 1670 hours committed to in the JPA, we have determined that Roseville has adequate engineer and technician time to deliver this revised work plan. If Roseville has the capacity at the end of the year, it may be possible to start working on the items on the 2010 Work Plan that are proposed to be shifted to 2011. These working hours are estimates; some of the projects may take more hours, while others may take less. There will also be additional tasks that will come up over the course of the year that will affect this work plan.
