Maior Proarams The 1994 Budget contains no major new program but instead has remained focused on delivering quality service to its citizens with little or no coat to its taxpayera. One major change has been the reduction in police service to the City of Lauderdale who chose to accept the St. Anthony bid even though it was higher than our submittal. The reduction in budget is offset by planned attrition and does not include any layoffs of personnel. This budget also recomends changing the Nature Center Naturalist position to full-time. No other changes in the number of person- � nel is recommended for 1994. Pavement ManaQement Proaram The Pavement Management Program (PMP) is a twenty year program begun in 1986. The first eight years of the program involve a major effort to reconstruct all roadways that are not in good condition. This phase will be completed in 1995. During the initial phase, the City will reconstruct approximately 3.8 miles of roadway per year, at an annual cost of two million dollars. In the second phase the volume of reconstruction, as well as the annual program costs, will be reduced subatantially as the focus changes to preventive maintenance. The program has been very successful and well received, as demonstrated by the positive reaction of residents in completed neighborhoods, and by the fact that the requests from residents for street reconstruction exceed the level of funding for the program. Parks Improvement Proaram The major new initiative began in the 1991 is the Parks Improve- ment Program (PIP). The PIP Program is designed to provide for the long-term maintenance, repair, and replacement of the City's park facilities. The general operation of the program is to move through each of the City's parks, based on an evaluation of park condition, to accomplieh a total repair, renovation, or replace- ment of all major facilities in each park. Because some facilities common to a number of parks are currently in need of substantial renovation, such as tennis courts and ahelter buildings, the initial years of the program will focus on these facilitiea. The focus will then shift to the targeting of individual parks. This program, modeled after the highly successful paving manage- ment program, is showing outstanding success as well and is expected to be continued on for the foreaeeable future. A -2
