Mr. Russell: The financial impact of this is $24,865.52. This involves a 15%
increase for the Director of our Solid Waste & Recycling Services and a temporary 15%
increase for the Acting Director of Public Services. We have included the job
descriptions in this and there is one change in the Public Works area with this section
divided into two subsections, Traffic Engineering and Engineering. I'd like to make that
as an addendum to what I have placed in the book.

implementation of the changes. With these changes it wiU become a self-sufficient entity
within two years. There is a current backlog and there are recommendations to use
existing funds in the Land Bank to fund temporary staff positions, and that we move
forward in June with hiring people to resolve the backlog and correct the flow of
properties into and out of the Land Bank. We have job descriptions for two positions and
a long term staffing plan is in place along with the establishment of a funding level
through the budget. I'm going ahead and make a motion to approve it.
