3.
With new automated procedures, it seems our reliance on General Message may be
outdated for ordering supplies. Possibly need a procurement form so the proper
information can be obtained. LeeAnn Evans and Justin Muhlhauser will come up with
something that could be used as a prototype this season.
4.
Knockdown/foldable stairs for use on refer trailers, that meets OSHA standards. Some
options are available. Kevin Sullivan and Kenny DeBerg will work on a formal
suggestion to the Cache System.
5. Hazardous materials disposal – Batteries and gas/oil
Solution: Work locally through local office to identify appropriate sources for removal
and disposal.
