Importance: Normal
I think we can post the map on the website in the Maintenance Division section below Report a Street Light Out and provide the following note or something similar.
Provided the City does not experience equipment mechanical problems, the Maintenance Division will make every effort to sweep zones shown in the map provided and according to the following schedule:
January – Each zone twice per month
February – Each zone twice per month
March – Each zone twice per month
April – Each zone once per month
May – Zones A, B, F, Main Roads
June – Zones D, B, parts of C, Main Roads, Parade Route
July – Zones A, B, Main Roads
August – Main Roads
September – Each zone once per month
October – Each zone twice per month
November – Each zone twice per month
December – Each zone twice per month
I left out the note about fireworks. If we tell them we are cleaning them up then they won’t clean up the waste.

Subject: Sweeping in Molalla
Folks,
With regard to sweeping streets in Molalla it’s important to note that we can’t give an exact date when we will be sweeping a certain street like Garbage Trucks can. Often we can’t even tell customers an exact week. The reason for this is mostly due to having only a single Sweeper. This causes two interesting Operational conditions that can’t be avoided:
1) suppose I’m scheduled to sweep street A on Monday, street B on Tuesday, and street C on Wednesday but my machine breaks down on Monday (like it did this week!). I get my machine fixed by Wednesday…but where do I start sweeping, street A? Or C? Neither choice allows us to give service on the date promised.
2) suppose I’ve promise customers in Zone A of the town that their Sweeping Service will be the first week of the month, and Zone B gets hit on the second week of the month. Well, in April Zone A may only takes 4 day to sweep so it's no problem. But in October when the leaves fall it takes 8 days. So I can't promise a simple rule to customers like "your street is the first week of the month".
That said, it’s my job to ensure things are managed in the most effective manner possible given the industrial engineering limitations just described. Therefore, the best we can promise to customers is the schedule below, referencing the map attached. We need to reserve the right to alter this schedule if we find better ways, run in to seasonal variability (early/late or heavy/light Autumns), equipment malfunctions, or emergency work eats up crew capacity and leaves us without sufficient time to complete routes. All of these conditions could change this schedule drastically without warning.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns, or Ideas. Thanks so much!
Andy
