City Attorney Shapiro reported that 7 or 8 of the tow -away charges are being
investigated. He said he turned down at least a dozen more --the usual situa-
tion on these was that they were parked illegally; they knew this; the city

away. He said there was some confusion regarding the cars illegally parked
and towed at the owner's expense, and those legally parked and towed at the
city's expense.

Progress of Productivity Project Spanier Associates
Mr. Donald Spanier gave the first of a number ofinformalpresentations
to the Board concerning the productivity project. He said he prepares
and issues to the Superintendent a monthly status and progress report
of what transpired the preceding month, as well as selected findings and
recommendations that are being actively put into effect.. The procedure
will be to circulate the reports to the Board each month as they become
available. 6/8/7g
Mr. Spanier said the purpose of the project is to improve efficiency and
effectiveness of services delivered by the department and to reduce unit
labor costs. In addition, it is conveyed to the supervisors, and through
them to the work force, that there is no intention to lay off present
employees in realizing the objectives of the project. Rather, the
reductions in costs and improvements being sought will be realized in
terms of enhancement and reinforcement of service and the .use of the
normal process of attrition that creates a reasonable degree of turnover
in the work force. He reported he has received excellent cooperation
from the level of laborers right up through all levels of supervision.

productivity operations of the department.
Mr. Spanier reported that he had worked extensively in putting into effect,
with J. Dougherty, the new work program and labor schedule and system in
the Construction and Maintenance Division. The system is based on analysis
of workloads and the application of production standards. Temporary
standards were set for all construction and maintenance operations that
are being used by the Division to evaluate and modify crew sizes and work
expectations on a daily basis. T/P-GI7C/
Mr. Spanier said they also carried out evaluation analysis of the
purchasing and stores procedures as they operate in the department in the
context of the way the city and the department as a whole do their
purchasing procurement, and have identified a number of areas in which
it is generally agreed that the system of Central Stores and Purchasing
can be tightened up and improved, and are working on those changes.
With the collaboration of City Engineer Cox, Mr. Spanier has analyzed
the organization workload and staffing of the Engineering Division and
developed an improved system for scheduling and controlling the engineering
work on capital and other engineering projects and activities, and im-
proving control of engineering manpower. They will continue to collaborate
on installation of that system.
Also, he carried out evaluation of the city's program for sidewalk inspec-
tion and repair and developed a number of alternatives which were reported
upon that are aimed at reducing delays in carrying out sidewalk repairs
and lowering the cost of repairs to.property owners.
He conducted preliminary surveys of the labor staffing and basic operating
characteristics of the Water and Sewer Division in collaboration with Mr.
Hannan. In addition he concluded survey of the Sign Shop and Street
Marking operations; and surveyed and evaluated the Engineering office
records- administration procedures.
Mr. Spanier also commented on the areas he will be working on in the future.

1978 Bu get
Supt. Dingman commented on the 1978 Budget, saying the Department will

1979 Proposed Budget
Comm. Banfield reported that the 1979 prop ed budget which the commis-

Alklivarious division heads. It has been presented to the Controller. It will
now be reviewed by the Controller and the Mayor and presented as the Mayor's
Executive Budget to the City Clerk and the Common Council on November 1.
Many of the requests shown on this budget will need modification. Mr.
Banfield suggested that board members review the budget to be sure that
items of interest to them are adequately covered. He said that Supt. Dingman
will be happy to explain items in the budget or to arrange for a meeting
of the Board as a Whole to review the budget if that appears desirable.
deport on 1979 Tentative Budget /�i3 If
Supt. Dingman resported that the budget that was originally submitted
on September 15th for the General Fund of the Board of Public Works
was included by the Finance Cothmittee in its final recommendations to
Cowinon Council and now stands as recommended for action on December
20th. It is an extremely tight budget, allowing an increase by the
same percentage of increases in settlement with the Union. The only
comment that Supt. Dingman wished to make about the tight budget is
that there will be no leeway for surplus; that his department will
come as near to spending 100% of budget, thereby having no surplus
appropriations for 1980.
