Discussion and possible directions to staff on any and all matters regarding the new monthly Street Sweeper Schedule for the Department of Public Works, Highway Users Division.  (Manuel Rojas, Assistant Public Works Director)

As requested by Council, staff prioritized generating a new sweeper schedule. Staff has developed a new monthly Street Sweeper Schedule with the new sweeper, newly hired staff, new Global Positioning System (GPS), and training at the Schwarze Industries Factory scheduled for Public Works and Fleet Services staff.  With consistency and adequate training, we believe we can provide improved sweeper operations.  Past delays in the project were due to the old equipment breaking downs and being short on staff.

The schedule resulted from great interoffice collaboration including Equipment Operators, Geographic Information System (GIS), and Public Works administration staff with the intent to better inform our community. The team met and planned out the schedule, one which we are already implementing.  We will be making adjustment as needed as we grow.  The intent is to have a monthly schedule, available on-line, for our resident to access.  The on-line Street Sweeper Route will be interactive.  In the upcoming months, working with IT Department and GIS, we will expand the website, incorporate the holiday schedule, community clean-up and other important schedules vital to the Public Works Operations.
