41690.3 TOs Mayor and City Council FROM: Hark E. Bernhardson, City Administrato DATE: April 13, 1990 SUBJECT: Engineering Review APR 23 1990 ^ITYOFOROffo Attachment:A. Engineering Review Dated 3/2/90 (Memo Only) B. In-House Configuration Drafts ISSUE - Presentation to Council of additional information regarding the estimated cost of in-house service. pTRODUCTION - At the Council's meeting of February 26, 1990 the following information was presentated. It was requested that staff provide additional information to Council regarding the estimated cost of an in-house engineer. DISCUSSION - An estimate of in-house staff would include one of two configurations outlined in Attachment B. The estimates are using 1990 as a base and are very rough estimates particularily for the outside consulting budget. In a year where there are significant projects the range in cost from a possible savings up to an additional $24,000 depending on the amount of project work done in-house. In a year where there are no significant projects the range of additional costs go up an additional $66,000. The main difference in cost is that the current approach has the payment only when utilized, the in-house approach has a "fixed" cost if staff levels are not changed based on project needs. ALTERNATIVES - 1. Accept the information. 2. Table for further discussion. 3. Take no action. RECOMMENDATION - It is recommended that the Council accept the information at this point and request this item be placed on the agenda for further discussion at the May 29, 1990 Council meeting. In the meantime please feel free to discuss any questions or Issues you may have with me in the interim. PROPOSED MOTION - Moved by _, seconded by _, that Council accepts the information presented and tables further action to the Hay 29, 1990 Council meeting. Ayes _, Nays _.
