Show PG City mulls Janitorial service 'Pleasant Grove City Council '.embers are waiting to see ,-ofessional janitorial service "itimates before deciding whether ''.j keep things the way they are, hire 'Zs full time janitor or put the city's .Jjstodial work out on bids. Each department presently hires fs own custodians, Mayor David L'oldaway noted, but the council " ondered if it would be less ex-;nsive ex-;nsive to hire a fulltime employee h handle all of the janitorial service - ir the city or if it would be better to .sue a contract to the low bidder. At present the city is spending bout $16,000 a year or $1,381 per lonth for janitorial service. This oes not take into account seasonal ervice required for restrooms at le parks, etc., nor any supplies, s If a fulltime employee was hired at $1,000 per month plus benefits, it would cost more than at present, Kay Driggs, financial director, explained. He said that last year the recreation department had 827 hours or 70 hours per month of janitorial service. The police department had 16 hours per week or 60 hours per month. Cleaning of the new city hall takes about 80 manhours per month. In addition, it was mentioned that the city employees who also work parttime as custodians take pride in their work. They are willing to help out at other times when it is necessary, too. The council decided to table a decision until they can make further study of the situation and get some estimates from janitorial firms on costs. |
