<br /> <br />PUBLIC WORKS <br /> <br />In 1998, the City purchased the old Eagle Trucking building for the Public Works <br />Department. At this new location, Public Works has an office area, a workshop, garage <br />space, and outside storage for sand, salt, gravel, etc. <br /> <br />A costlbenefit analysis should be done to determine whether large projects within the <br />City should be done by outside contractors or kept in-house. In-house advantages could <br />be lower wages and employee familiarity with the City. Disadvalitages could be the cost <br />of acquiring equipment, loss of contractor's expertise, and decreased staff attention on <br />single projects. <br /> <br />It is important for the Public Works Department of create a replacement schedule for <br />motorized vehicles and equipment. A vehicle and equipment replacement schedule <br />would help the City judiciously plan for future major expenditures. <br /> <br />15 <br /> <br />;','::'.:':-;:::f>,-;'" <br />
