1. Convene Meeting
The meeting was convened at approximately 11:00 a.m. by Chris Bainbridge. Chris explained that this
committee works to formulate an Accident Prevention Plan, strives to keep our workplace free of potential
hazards; and seeks training opportunities. She also mentioned that training task might be easier now that we
have an H.R. Department to assist in that endeavor.
2. Election of Committee Officers
By unanimous decision, Michelle Rasmussen was elected Chair for 2009, Lisa Combs was elected Vice-
Chair, and Chris Bainbridge was elected Recorder.
3. Minutes of December 10, 2008
There was consensus to approve the meetings minutes.
4. Review and Discu
Chris mentioned that this Accident Prevention Program draft is the draft the committee has been working on
for approval from Management; and she asked the committee members look it over once more; and that she
will attempt to have this finalized very soon.
5. Calendar of Meeting Dates/Agenda items: Brainstorming
It was decided the committee will meet the third Wednesday of each month at 11:00 a.m. in the Opportunity
Conference Room; and Chair Michelle Rasmussen will set up the monthly meeting notifications and send
them out to committee members. Training ideas for this year included CPR, Fire Drill, Defensive Driving,
Bloodbourne Pathogens, and First Aid. It was also mentioned we should check to make sure the disposable
cameras are still in City vehicles, and issue a reminder about the purpose of the camera; and to let this
Committee (or finance) know when a camera needs to be replaced. Lisa said she will work on that issue.
There being no other business, the meeting adjourned at approximately 11:30 a.m.
