The numbers for Supplies are based on groups completing clean-ups at different times and days. No simultaneous
clean-ups will be able to be completed due to the necessary use of Safety Vests, Shoulder Work Ahead signs, and
Type II Barricades for each group. It is not recommended we purchase enough supplies to support more than one
group conducting an event at the same time.
At this time we have three O) organizations that have expressed an interest in participating in an Adopt-a-
Roadway Program once the Town has the program implemented. The start-up cost to be paid by the Town for the
remainder of the 1997-98 Fiscal year to allow these three groups to begin participating in this program is
(($695.45*3) +$617.39)=$2,703.74. This cost includes the purchase of the safety equipment needed for
participation, the sponsor sign, garbage bags, training sessions for each group and the trash collection cost for the
two (2) clean-up events each group must participate in within the remainder of our 1997-98 Fiscal year. A total of
six (6) clean-up events will be completed within the remainder of the 1997-98 fiscal year by the three (3) groups,
two (2) clean-ups each group. This is providing the Town chooses to utilize the Pima County Adopt-a-Roadway
Safety Training video we have received on loan.
If we were to generate interest that would produce five (5) groups participating in the Adopt-a-Roadway Pro,am
within the Town for the remainder of the 1997-98 Fiscal year, the cost to maintain this program would be
((695.45'5)+$617.39)=$4,094.64. I recommend we request $4,500.00 from Mayor and Council to implement this
program.
It is an option for the Town to have a specialized seven (7) minute safety video produced as a training tool. If the
Town decided to contract the production or' a new video for the Town of Marana the cost for video production
would be approximately $7,800.00 in addition to supplies and materials costs.
