1998-99 BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS:
 
The Public Works Department has established contracts with the U.S. Army to provide public works services at the Presidio of Monterey at no net cost to the City.  At present, agreements have been signed for street, storm water and sewer services, which amount to nearly $500,000 for the City's General Fund and Special funds.  Four positions were added last fiscal year to staff for this additional workload.  Other services such as grounds maintenance and pest control are expected to be added during this fiscal year.
Also included in this budget is funding for an additional custodian position in the Building Maintenance division.  This position is being added to help keep our facilities up to a high standard of cleanliness.
