Increase in fees is due to the amount of permits issued along with the <br /> <br /> cost of construction. <br /> Item #6. <br /> Highway Maintenance Division: With no increase in funding, our Division <br /> will need to concentrate on our primary responsibilities throughout the <br /> island. We will do resurfacing only when the districts have achieved their <br /> primary responsibilities and resurfacing will be very minimal or not at all. <br /> We may have to go back to extensive patching, which is time-consuming. <br /> Another alternative may involve overtime, which would include working on <br /> Saturdays. <br /> Traffic Division• The back-uo plan is the status quo budget <br /> o We will not be able to be proactive in catching-up or keeping-up <br /> with our striping work orders.
