Project Funding FY 13 FY 13 FY 14 FY 15 FY 16 FY 174585 Brush Chipper RC 0 0 75,000 0 0 0If deferred: Schedule for 2014 Priority 1TOTAL PROJECT COST 75,000Analysis and Explanation:The brush chipper is a necessary equipment that is needed to keep up with the demand for curb side brush collection, tree trimming, and tree removal.Operational ImpactThe City currently has one chipper and adding another one would allow us to target areas with another tree crew to keep up with the growing demand for removalof tree debris. Another chipper would also provide chipping services for the tree trimming program. A second tree crew would allow the Streets Section to beproactive instead of reactive in the rapidly growing public safety issue that dead and diseased trees in the right of way create.4587 Compost Site Loader RC 250,000 0 0 250,000 0 0If deferred: Deferred due to fiscal constraints Priority 1Analysis and Explanation:Replace a 31-year old loaderTOTAL PROJECT COST 500,000Operational ImpactIt moves the compost and materials so that the compost will breakdown properly for processing. The current loader is unreliable causing the compost operationsto not be able to process the material from Mid Michigan Solid Waste Authority (MMWA) as per contract. This purchase will allow the compost to be processed,screened, and loaded more efficiently to service purchasing customers. This will cut down on the unscheduled overtime required to make up the time to processand move the material while the equipment is not in service.4587 Compost Screener RC 0 0 100,000 0 0 0If deferred: Scheduled for 2014 Priority 1Analysis and Explanation:Remove trash, sticks, and debris from compost to produce a final product.TOTAL PROJECT COST 100,000Operational ImpactThe hopper feeder connected to the screener does not currently work, requiring the compost to be fed to the screener by using a front end loader which takes moretime. The front end loader is used for other work activities and is not always available for use. The replacement of this equipment would provide a more efficientand safe operation and provide a more consistent supply of screened material that is sold for $14 a cubic yard as screened compost as opposed to beingunscreened which is given away free.TOTAL RUBBISH COLLECTION770,000355
