RECREATION: <br /> • Swimming instructions began this week. Interviews were held for the pre-school <br /> instructor's position. Laurie Larsen has been hired to begin teaching next week. Pre- <br /> school programs are held Mondays through Thursdays at Random Park Building. Many <br /> of the after school programs are already filled. We have offered additional classes for"I'm <br /> In Charge"because they filled up so quickly. We will end up having over 80 2nd graders <br /> signed up for this program, with the additional class times. <br /> FORESTRY: <br /> • Congratulations to Rick Wriskey who submitted a grant for Oak Wilt Disease Control <br /> monies. The City of Mounds View was awarded a$6,600 grant(match will be in-kind <br /> services)for fighting oak wilt disease such as using the vibratory plow to cut the root <br /> spread of the disease to neighboring trees. Because of the severe lack of moisture -be sure <br /> to water your trees and bushes. Unfortunately, unless they receive enough water before , <br /> they will find it hard to survive the winter. <br /> CABLE TV: <br /> • Patrick will be working Tuesdays and Thursdays - 8 hour days plus 4 additional hours in <br /> the evenings every two weeks. This schedule works around his class schedule. The <br /> Chamber of Commerce has requested Patrick to tape a candidates forum, sponsored by the <br /> Chamber in addition to two other forums -providing ample air time for candidates. <br /> Mary <br /> FINANCE <br /> • Training has is continuing on the new accounting system. The account numbering system <br /> has been revised for the new system and Mary has started to enter the data onto the new <br /> system. <br /> • The workers compensation auditor conducted his review today. We inquired whether we <br /> could use actual hours worked verses established percentages and were told we could. As <br /> such, Kitty has been compiling information related to actual holiday pay, sick leave, <br /> vacation, etc. which we will forward to the auditor. This should result in savings of at least <br /> $3,000. <br /> • Dorothy is off this week resulting in more interruptions for Kitty, Mary, Barb, and Diane. <br /> • Work continues on the 1997 budget and normal items such as utility billing,payroll, <br /> accounts payable, etc. <br /> Bruce <br />
