AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval to increase Facilities Maintenance Custodian position
PWFM078 from part-time (24/hpw) to full time (40/hpw).
ITEM BACKGROUND: We currently employ six full-time and one part-time custodian to clean
and maintain approximately 162,000 sq. ft. of space at the Key West Courthouse, Courthouse Annex,
Lester Building, Records Storage Building, Gato Building, and Public Works Garage Compound. Not
including leased facilities, this equate to about 24,900 sq. ft. per employee. (A 2002 study by the
Florida Department of Education recommends one custodian for every 19,000 sq. ft.). The
construction of the Freeman Justice Center is underway creating more dust and dirt to surrounding
buildings. Because of vacation time and illnesses, it is difficult to have enough custodians on hand at
times. By increasing the part-time position to full time, the added hours will help fill in gaps, allow
certain work to be performed on Saturdays when buildings are vacant, and assist with paper shredding.
