Well, this the final week before the election and a tense time <br /> for all of us. I am sure that everyone will be glad when the <br /> election is over and we can return to some semblance of normalcy. <br /> I think few people have a grasp of how very difficult it is to <br /> run for public office, let alone serve in public office. I want <br /> each and every one of you to know that I think you are a fine <br /> group of people that represent all that is the very best in <br /> public service. Whether or not you are elected/re-elected will <br /> not change the fact that Mounds View has been very lucky indeed <br /> that you were a part of its governing process. The community is <br /> by far a better place because you contributed. <br /> Samantha <br /> Recycling Intern applications <br /> The deadline for applications for this position was Monday 10/31. <br /> We received four applications. Paul and I will interview the <br /> four applicants on Wednesday 11/9. <br /> Focus 2000 <br /> On Friday of last week I received a phone call from a member of <br /> Minnetonka's Charter Commission. He was interested in learning <br /> more about Focus 2000 and how the process worked for us. He had <br /> heard good things about it and thinks their City should do <br /> something similar. <br /> On Wednesday of this week I received a call from the City of Lino <br /> Lakes. They have also heard good things about our Focus 2000 <br /> process and wanted information. I will be meeting with a City <br /> representative on Friday to explain the procedure we followed. <br /> Customer Service <br /> As a follow up to the September training session that was held <br /> with City staff, Georgine Madden was present at last Tuesdays <br /> (10/25) staff meeting to share some additional information with <br /> Department Heads. As usual, the information she presented was <br /> excellent and relevant to our day-to-day contacts with our <br /> customers, or as she would say 'moments of truth' . <br /> Tape Backup <br /> After several months of wrestling with the tape drive for the new <br /> tape backup system, Dave Johnson, our computer consultant, has <br /> finally resolved the problem and it appears all computers will be <br /> able to save their hard drive files directly to a tape via the <br /> file server. There are two substantial benefits to doing this. <br /> One benefit is that for the first time, ALL computers will have <br /> the capability of backing up. Secondly, the operation takes <br /> place in the evening when the computers are not in use, so there <br /> is no computer down time for employees. <br /> Tim C. <br />
