Three more issues of the Recycling Guide will be distributed during 1995, one near Earth Day, another in July, and again in October.

The Recycling Information Office issued two press releases concerning the recycling and composting of Christmas trees at drop off sites . When Christmas tree sales begin in 1995, the Recycling Information Office would like to have information posted at the tree lots giving information on the composting of the trees after the holidays, as well as drop off sites. Interviews for the Recycling Coordinator position should be held next week; the new Coordinator will be involved with the staff at the Recycling Office in recruiting and training volunteers. 6 .

SUBJECT: Closure of interior employee parking at 300 West yard DATE: April 4, 1995 As you are well aware and we discussed earlier, to help in reducing the yard congestion and improve safety, we were evaluating the option of eliminating the approximately 50 stall fenced parking area located at the Northwest corner of the yard. Upon further discussion of this issue with employees as well as the recent rash of vehicle vandalism on the off street parking located on 900 South, a majority of our employees have voiced their concerns about such closure. Attached please see their letter addressed to me. In light of their feelings, I am writing this letter requesting all other possible and practical options which could provide all of us with a safe and uncongested working environment be identified and completely evaluated prior to looking at closing this fenced parking area (i.e., look at it as a final possible solution ). Some options identified to-date included: Moving repaired vehicles out to their appropriate departments. Moving all unnecessary items out and find alternate storage areas. Assign specific parking stalls. Provide a summer sander storage area. I do appreciate your efforts in addressing this tough subject and we are receptive to evaluating all possible solutions.
