Savings, Earnings Increase

AVALON - The first annual report of Andrew Bednarek,■borough administrator, focused on increased revenue from investments and savings brought about by improved procedures in various thorough departments Avalon's interest on investments tfita led $402,497.60 for 1982 A breakdown shows cash management earned $85,888.28; repurchase agreements $24,579.14 and certificates of deposit $292,030.18. The cash management program is state-sponsored and allows the borough to earn interest daily at a higher rate than regular savings accounts. “In addition, a new policy of once atmonth payment of bills, instituted in 1982, has had a substantial impact on the amount of funds available for investment.'' according to the administrator. THE GREATEST change in an overall department took place in the Public Works Division. In late 1981 organizational and management restructuring was developed and implemented by the Department of Administration This look place after months of research and analysis in order to provide increased efficiency and effectiveness. Much of the 1982 success in the Public Works Divi sion is attributed to a shift in personnel and the

development of a new organizational framework A chain of authority and accountability was established. Bednarek gave Special recognition to Dave Carrick, division head and the crew chiefs. The borough saved $18,113.91 in the grass maintenance program in 1982 over 1981. These savings were effected by putting this item out for bid. Prior to this year, when seasonal employees handled this work, ^e had increasing employee ex•pense, lost time due to injury, resultant increase in insurance and supervisory costs, as well as equipment and vehicle purchases. In 1981 Avalon spent $25,327.21 in labor and other expenses of $5,300 for a total cost of $30,627 21. In 1982, the grass maintenance service contract with the Borough amounted to $12,513.30, or a savings of 59 percent. ANOTHER POINT of saving occurred in the beach maintenance pro gram During 1381 eleven different employees were used to rake the-beaches The per day cost to clean beaches including labor, fuel and other vehicle maintenance expense was $145 and based on a 107-day schedule, the total amounted to $15,515 In the same time period for 1982, five trained employees were used to maintain the beaches The

per day cost to clean beaches in 1982 was $98 for a total of $10,486.00. a sav ings of $5,029, or 32 percent Much of the savings is attributed to the purchase of a four-wheel drive tractor for the beach, which replaced two conventional tractors. In addition, per manent personnel were used to operate beach tractors in 1982 "COINCIDENTALLY, by reducing beach cleaning costs, the cleaning of the beach improved, as did the numerous positive comments received praising the condition of the beaches during the 1982 season," tho administrator stated One of the largest sav ings to the borough was in the water and sewer pro gram In late 1981 the Department of Ad ministration had bid out water and sewer installa tions and repairs as a precautionary measure, in the event an emergency arose. “After analyzing the costs involved in operating the water and sewer crew, the decision to bid to a private contractor resulted in a major savings." Bednarek Staled In salaries alone, the 1981 costs were $72,355 Considering a 9 percent increase and additional benefits, 1982 costs would have amounted to $83,494 This does not represent overtime for emergency work, holidays or (Page 6 Please)
