2007-08 Adopted Plan - Wake County Public School System

Growth RequestsInitiative: Bus MechanicsCurrent Funding Formula:Classifi cation of mechanics:• Regular shop mechanics who deal with PMs (preventivemaintenance) only - total of 17. Ratio to total fl eet - 835/17 =1:49 (current ratio).• Road mechanics who deal with complaint sheets completed bydrivers, 30-day inspections, and breakdowns at district sites -total of 19. Ratio to total fl eet - 835/19 = 1:44 (current ratio).• The State recommended ratio for the road mechanics is 1:35.The addition of these six positions would allow us to get closerto this level. The current year request does not address the ratioof shop mechanics. Our future goal would bring this ratio to thesame level in the next fi scal year.• The projected bus fl eet will grow to 942 by 2008-09.This request is in conjunction with a request to purchase service trucksfor road mechanics. It is expected that the current more experiencedshop mechanics would be converted into road mechanics to service thebuses at sites eliminating the need to run them to Rock Quarry. Thisprovides more timely maintenance on the buses and keeps down time toa minimum. Additional shop mechanics would then need to be hired tofi ll the vacancies left from this shift in employees.• $19.47 per phone per month for restricted cellular use• Uniform cost of $10.00 per month per employee for twelve monthsShortage of mechanics has resulted in preventive and routine maintenancenot being performed on schedule. As the size of the bus fl eet continuesto grow and buses continue to age, we must keep adding mechanics tohandle this growth and to keep our buses operating in a safe manner forall students.Implementation Timeline & Budget Needed:2007-08 MOE Amount CodeBus Mechanic 72.00 $ 171,93513,15312,27624,2827202008-0972.00 $ 222,366 State1,3921,4020.00 $ 2,794 LocalTotal: 72.00 $ 225,160Bus Mechanic 72.00 $ 171,93513,15312,27625,4947202009-1072.00 $ 223,578 State1,3921,4020.00 $ 2,794 LocalTotal: 72.00 $ 226,372Bus Mechanic 96.00 $ 229,24717,53716,36835,688960Base 01.6550.056.165.0225.0980SS 01.6910.056.211.0225.0980Ret 01.6910.056.221.0225.0980Dental 01.6910.056.231.0225.0980Uniforms 01.6550.056.311.0225.0980Dental 02.6910.706.234.0225.0980Nextel 02.6550.056.311.0225.0980Base 01.6550.056.165.0225.0980SS 01.6910.056.211.0225.0980Ret 01.6910.056.221.0225.0980Hosp 01.6910.056.231.0225.0980Uniforms 01.6550.056.311.0225.0980Dental 02.6910.706.234.0225.0980Nextel 02.6550.056.311.0225.0980Base 01.6550.056.165.0225.0980SS 01.6910.056.211.0225.0980Ret 01.6910.056.221.0225.0980Hosp 01.6910.056.231.0225.0980Uniforms 01.6550.056.311.0225.098096.00 $ 299,800 State$1,8561,869Dental 02.6910.706.234.0225.0980Nextel 02.6550.056.311.0225.09800.00 $ 3,725 LocalTotal: 96.00 $ 303,525230
