Proposed Additional Public Works Maintenance Position
Summary
Staff floated a new public works worker — split with sewer utilities so only about $52,000 hits the levy — to keep up with 30 added center-lane miles of streets since growth has outpaced staffing. It's not in the preliminary budget yet; council seemed receptive.

Impact analysis
About $52,000 in levy impact (half the ~$104,500 total cost), if council adds it before September 15.
Residents in newer neighborhoods get faster snowplowing and better-maintained streets, trails and utilities.
