Funding is monitored through a depreciation <br />schedule established with each department. <br /> <br />The Public Works Agency uses 11 street sweepers to cover over 400 miles <br />of residential streets, 100 miles of primary street, 50 miles of <br />industrial areas, and 25 miles of alleys. The program also includes <br />sweeping over 81,000 curb miles and the removal of 11,000 cubic yards <br />of gutter litter each year. Mobile Athey street sweepers are no longer <br />manufactured, and replacement parts difficult to obtain. Due to age, <br />engine hours, and worn condition, two 1998 Athey sweepers have been <br />budgeted and approved for replacement in the current fiscal year. To <br />comply with Air Quality Management District standards, the new street <br />sweepers will be compressed natural gas units. Specifications for the <br />new sweepers also call for a high right side dump hopper system to <br />accommodate proper disposal directly to the Waste Management trash <br />8 dumpsters. <br /> <br />22D-1 <br />
