5.Safety Concerns:
There were no safety concerns to report at this time.
6.Employee Training:
a.John informed us that n a trial basis, and
he is trying to purchase online training. But at this time, each individual employee would have to pay the fee
at time of training, and we would want to access training with an open account instead and be billed,
possibly with a P.O. process. John is working with Finance for a solution.
b. We had a discussion regarding whose responsibility it is to refill the kits. Patty refills the kits
Fr
Roxanne Crafton uses at City Hall. Jay will check the kit in the Permit Center that Mary May used to do.

a.Tom conducts weekly tailgate safety meetings with his crew. He has a different topic each week, and
everyone signs an attendance-type sheet.

Wednesdays.
