11 • Approval of minutes — November 26, 2019 meeting minutes
12 o Motion to approve made by Fran Schweigert, seconded by Nancy Schmidt, Committee
13 voted unanimously to approve — motion passes.
14 • Old Business
15 o City Shop items that are placed on top of lockers. It was brought to their attention that
16 the items that are up there must be removed. No items are to be stored on top of
17 lockers. If they wish to store items up there, they would need to install shelves to store
18 materials.
19 • Review of Injury and Liability Claims
20 o 1 incident report that was filed due to backboard falling out of truck and striking an
21 EMT. No first aid or medical was necessary. It was due to being in a hurry.
22 Mandi stated that it was discussed and that it was caused due to being in a
23 hurry and that they need to slow down and work safe.
24 o 2 liability claims — Justin had brought to Karen's attention and she had just received
25 them yesterday. 1 involved a city driver backing a roll off into the city shop and
26 damaging the door and side of building. Other was a utility box being left open on the
27 side of a water truck and damaging the door when it was being backed out of shop.
28 Karen had not had time to review these 2 claims. Justin stated that proper
29 procedure of using a spotter could have prevented the building damage. Further
30 review and discussion will be done on these two items.
31 o 1 claim has been turned into Bethany concerning an accident involving a firefighter.
32 Brent reported that the firefighter was working on lights and after he was off a
33 ladder, he went to move it and the ladder fell over and hit him in the head.
34 Injury required staples to be put in his head.
35 • New Business
36 o With the new Safety Policy now being in effect, we will need to update who is the
37 appointed person for each of the stated members per the Safety Policy. Kare will update
38 the Roster and send out for information on who the representative is.
39 Brent suggested that would be good idea to have an alternative person as well
40 listed.
41 o Karen has installed 2 new first aid kits in City Hall — one on 2"1 floor and other in
42 breakroom on 15t floor. She will be inspecting them when she does the fire extinguisher
43 inspections and refill as needed. City Shop has a service doing their first aid kits.
44 • Other Concerns or comments
45 o Stan stated that there was a training that has been done for the schools pertaining to
46 active shooters. May be a good idea for city training and could possibly be adjusted for
47 City employees.

o Panic Alarms — Discussion on monthly testing of panic alarms. During a building walk
through it was discovered that the City Court button was not working due to a dead
battery. Monthly checks would be a good idea to ensure safety. Stan will check list to
find out where all the panic buttons are located so that we can ensure they are working
properly.
o Committee discussed evacuation plans. Karen will email the link to the online evac plan
that she found. Safety Committee can come up with a recommended plan and then
submit the plans to the Mayor for approval and implementation. Brent sent Karen a link
for an evacuation ladder that could be ordered for the 2"d floor as currently there is no
means of egress from the roof by Planning Director's Office and anyone on 2"d floor
would have to jump off building.
o Karen will send out electronic versions of the accident and liability forms so that they
can be printed on an ass needed basis by the departments.
• Next Meeting
o Karen will select a few dates and send to everyone for their availability in order to
schedule in January.
• Adjournment—Justin Baker motioned to adjourn, Fran Schweigert 2"d the motion. Motion
passes.
