John Sauls has visually confirmed that <br />the sheets are in a binder and present in the shelter and that staff knows <br />where they are. Ms. Garrett and I are scheduled for the walk through on <br />June 13 to identify any other concerns that might be apparent. The <br />move back to Whitted was protracted and this was the primary cause of <br />the delay in getting this accomplished. <br />• On May 14 there was a meeting and walk-through at the shelter by <br />engineering consultants and others. Please see the attached memo from <br />John Sauls providing details of that meeting. Mr. McAdoo has sent staff <br />to the shelter to examine each of the exhaust fans. There were fourteen <br />exhaust fans in total, public works staff have repaired or replaced seven <br />fans, ordered parts for the other two and instituted a more frequent filter <br />change for all of the units. Ms. Walters reports that airflow and odor <br />control are much improved. Mr. McAdoo will let us know when the <br />final two are repaired. <br />• John Sauls has held meetings with Information Services staff and the <br />shelter to determine the requirements for loading and making the <br />Chameleon software functional at the shelter so that it will interact with <br />the county seamlessly. A plan is currently being formulated to ensure <br />that this happens as soon as possible. Meanwhile, Chameleon support <br />has also been contacted and a requisition for training services has been <br />processed as well. The dates will be scheduled as soon as the <br />Information Services staff have completed their portion of hardware and <br />software installation. <br />Please feel free to call if you have any other questions. <br />8 <br />
