BACKGROUND

 

Team Safety conducted inspections of District facilities on March 1, 2006 and transmitted their report by memo dated April 10, 2006.  The report includes the notations of problems and deficiencies that are the responsibility of the Planning and Engineering Division (P&E Division).  Below is a restatement of the noted problems, each followed by a description of the proposed remedy.

 

NOTED PROBLEMS AND PROPOSED REMEDIES

 

1.8        General work sites.  Boxes of file folders relating to the Seaside Basin Adjudication Trial line the back hallway outside of Water Demand Division narrowing the hallway.

1.9        Storage and equipment rooms.  First floor file room near garage:  Boxes with file folders from the Seaside Basin Trial placed on top of the file cabinets.

 

These files are duplicates and triplicates of exhibits that were saved pending the removal of certain large documents, copies of which are often requested by outside parties.  In order to save the time and expense of copying, those documents need to be removed before the remainder are disposed of.  P&E Division staff will sort through all of the binders in these locations, remove the desired documents, and recycle the remainder, not later than May 26, 2006.  One full set of the documents is located in binders in the upstairs library.

 

1.9  Storage and equipment rooms.  The Engineering File Room still has unfilled boxes of folders that are stacked on top of the file drawers and on the floor.  They need to be evaluated for removal to the archives.

 

 

Most of the boxes of files noted in the Safety Inspection Report are documents related to P&E Division functions, although some belong to the Water Resources and Administrative Services Divisions.  P&E Division staff will do the following not later than May 26, 2006:  (1) in consultation with Water Resources and Administrative Services Divisions staff, sort through these materials and dispose of unnecessary documents; (2) organize and consolidate the remaining documents; (3) identify, box, and label documents that may be stored in District Archives.

 

1.15  Other.  The Automated External Defibrillator is stored in a Conference Room cabinet.  It should be more visible in case of emergency.  A wall bracket should be purchased and placed on the wall immediately outside the Conference Room.

 

A wall bracket has been installed, and the AED device is now mounted on the wall in the hallway between the Conference Room and the downstairs elevator.
