DIRECTOR'S REPORT Kayo McGillivray reported the following' ao OSHA Inspection - There was a list of possible violations given by the OSHA Parks & Rec Commission February 2, 1995 Page 1 e inspector. Two corrections have already been made. Work orders have been issued for two others. One of the main issues addressed by the inspector was that there were no site-specific safety plans in place. Parks & Rec was the only department that had an existing safety plan. It did not meet their standards, but did exist. One of the issues brought up will be that summer hires will be required to have safety shoes. Also there will need to be a certification process for safety training of the summer hires. It was also noted that they did not have all the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) available. Kayo is currently working on collecting the required forms. bo Elks Hoop Shoot- There was a good turnout. Two people tied for spots in the state finals. One person tied for first place, and the other tied for third. They will have a shoot-off to see if they will make the finals.

This will depend on Council's approval. Jack Castimore asked what will happen to the equipmem that will be replaced, and if any of it will be re-usable. Kayo responded that the slides and some of the equipmem would possibly be re-usable. It would be dismamled and probably stored, possibly auctioned. He said if there was a request'to Council, it would probably be considered. Jack said he was thinking of Sears Elememary, if the parems would put it in.

Co Five Year Capital Expenditures Kayo explained how they are hoping to get a used 1/2 ton pickup, possibly through a department transfer if the shop's new pickup is approved.

Jack Castimore asked about the difference in cost between the softball greenstrip restroom and the Cunningham Park restroom.
