Sorry if you get double of this.<br><br>Hi all,<br><br>Last night at Steering my point was not made clear about
why the number 4 keys need to be pulled. It also got diverted to where
it appeared to only an issue between me and shows group. That is wrong.
It is an issue for the entire building. The #4 key opens the janitor
room in the basement for those who don't know. It houses all major
cleaning and maintenance items. That was my understanding when I got the
job. But when I saw the room, it was a wreck. It was being use for
personal storage for anyone who had or has a key. It was not at all
organized. It was pretty much the "Dump my extra stuff room". That is
not its purpose. Its purpose is to house the cleaning and maintenance
items. Unlike other working groups, no one appears to be interested in
joining a building maintenance working group. I know, the past
AmeriCorps member experienced some of the same issues.<br>
<br>Seeing that its purpose is for janitor/ maintenance use, there
really isn't a reason for everyone have a key to it but the maintenance
crew. It is our storage room for supplies, equipment, and building
materials. However, what I've experienced is people to see the value of
what I and the township people do to attempt to make the building a
clean and safe place. We have had to order products to frequently
because of people using to much of a product (bleach, TNT, mop
detergent) than necessary. That can get costly. <br>
<br>I am recommending a reduction in access to ensure that the few items
we do have can be retained as long as possible. Damaged items,
constant re-ordering of supplies that should last us at minimum a month
or so, drives our maintenance costs up, which ultimately drives
everyones costs up. Mrs. Ammons bought us a vacuum, since the previous
one was broken. <br>
<br>My goal is to get new equipment to help with in house fixing,
cleaning, or what ever the case may be. I would like to have a secure
place for the NEW products. The point is to have what we need to clean
when the crew and I need it. A secure place will also let me know that
hey, only such and such have access to the room. No one else can be
blamed except authorized personnel. Now at yesterday's Steering, I don't
think that it was officially decided to retrieve all the #4 keys. So
maybe this explanation might help some who feel that I am asking to
much.<br><font color="#888888">
