BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Street sweeping is a regular maintenance activity performed by the City's Streets and Drainage Division. The City optimized efficiency by adjusting sweeping frequency based on the volume of debris and solids recovered. Through this process, the City has found it to be most effective and cost efficient to use one sweeper truck and operator to sweep most every street once a month, or as needed. This schedule has been maintained since May 2012.

In addition to the aesthetics of clean streets, sweeping is identified as one of the best management practices ("BMP") for implementing a successful stormwater management program. The State-mandated Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (Order No. 2003-0005-DWQ) also known as the Phase II NPDES General Permit requires the City to develop and implement a Storm Water Management Program that includes pollution prevention and good housekeeping. Street sweeping plays an essential role in ensuring permit compliance.

Staff has been able to marginally absorb sweeping the newly constructed developments utilizing regularly scheduled overtime. As more street miles are constructed, the current sweeping frequency cannot be sustained with the existing staff levels and service expectations.
