REPORT OF ENGINEER
January 1984
PERSONNEL
Mr. Charlie Purcell has been an excellent part time worker. It is the recommenda-
tion of the Public Works foreman and Engineer that he should be kept on as an
hourly worker (40 hours a week) until next June 1, at which time he would be
permanently appointed as a regular employee. There is a need for his talents
and he would make an excellent addition to the Public,Morks crew.
The Public Works employees were given a copy of the statement of "Wages and Salary
Administration for Public Works Employees" (copy attached) and the Engineer ex-
plained the implementation of the policies and answered all questions raised.
ICE AND SNOW CONTROL
Weather conditions (rain that froze on contact with /ground) caused sidewalk problems
that have lasted several weeks. Roads were cleared with salt and grits but the
Village does not have equipment for treating ice (as distinct from snow) on side-
walks. It has been Village policy not to salt sidewalks.
VILLAGE GARAGE
One of the "four large overhead doors at the Village Garage has deteriorated to the
point where it should be replaced. Effort to repair the door has added so much
weight to the door that it is difficult to lift. A quotation of $1,370 installed
has been received from Genson Overhead Door Service. There is money in Acct.
A1640.51 - Central Garage Supplies if money for insulation is deferred until the
next budget year. The Engineer requests permission to purchase the overhead door.
