RA00 .�• 50 JOURNAL NO. (M 8134 Rev. II/81) n• 1 C 5-12-86 Appropriation Rough Draft 3 . Explanation of Request (continued) This Department has 42 passenger vehicles and three vans assigned. The Department operates some 17 separate facilities and must conduct business between these locations and with other county operations . In addition, Social Service Department employees and volunteers are required to transport the public in the normal conduct of their duties. Classifications for the employees working in the Social Service Department do not require them to provide their own on-the-job transportation. To assure the safety of clients , particularly children, we prefer employees or volunteers transport clients in county vehicles, and we must provide safe vehicles for this. However, the bulk of vehicles we have available are 11 to 13 years old and have been driven an average of 90 ,000 miles. Even in the best condition the General Services Garage can maintain, these are awkward, slow-to-respond vehicles which have recurrent problems starting, stopping, and staying together between maintenance. It is not unusual for a car to break down on the freeway or have other difficulties which endanger staff , volunteers , or children being transported. For the past several years the County' s overall priorities have allocated the few replacement vehicles that have been purchased to other county department even though the Social Service had funds in the budget which were returned to the General Fund. This year we have received two replacement vehicles and although we understand that General Services had requested in its budget proposal that at least four cars in the Social Service Department be replaced next fiscal year, funds for this purpose are not being recommended by the County Administrator and, thus, we will receive no new cars next fiscal year. The Social Service Department can no long ignore the jeopardy in which we place both employees and clients when they ride in county vehicles of questionable reliability. We are, therefore, seeking to replace 10 of the oldest cars which are in the worst condition. We have identified with the General Services Department the vehicles which are in the greatest need of replacement. These are 1974 and 1975 cars that have been driven an average of 104,000 miles. Nine of the cars have been driven between 95 ,000 and 118 , 000 miles while the tenth has been driven 85 , 000 miles and has severe mechanical problems. While there are a number of other cars that should be replaced, we have selected these 10 as the most urgent. The amount of $46, 500 requested in this adjustment reflects the anticipated cost of new cars less the depreciation already taken and the estimated salvage value. (Depreciation has been placed in a reserve and is ' available to be applied to the cost of the new cars. ) Funds are available to be transferred from rental of equipment and maintenance of equipment as there have been savings in .these accounts. These savings were not anticipated in the estimates of current year expenditures given in our 3.986-87 budget request. Estimated cost, mileage, and condition of each car are detailed on the next two pages . EJ:mjb Disk 1 Appropri.
