Treasurers Report – Kent Anderson: Contractors Breakfast came in under what we set aside for the event
Publicity & Education- Jim Franklin: Event suggestions? Jim recently contacted Jerry’s Home Improvement, they have a Founder’s Day in August and Home Depot has a Safety Event in October for possible promotional opportunities. Lowes was contacted and we are still waiting to see if they have an opportunity for 811 publicity.
Damage Report- Brian Siria: No changes. Still waiting on the State to enable the website to be able to enter data for damages
Since it will be up to the facility Owners to update site for damages, it would be good to get someone from the Dirt committee to come and show the council how to navigate the website.
It would be good for all facility owners to update contact information at the One Call Center to whom would actually need to be contacted if there were questions regarding field marks.
Brian passed around existing RAA summaries to review.
Web Page- Debbie Jenkins: Should we add a directory for local Contractors and Facility Owners’ contact #’s? Web site is still having problems with files locking. We are still looking into the problem. Our Web site and hosting is donated. Maybe we can look into Websites for non-profit groups. Possibly contact other Charters and inquire how they manage their website
OUCC Standards Review – Robert Spencer: Not Present
Old Business: Lane County Permits. Does anybody go into the field and look for clearance with power lines? Who is responsible for clearance? (County or Contractor)
OSHA-20’ from lines. Some buildings are inside of the 20’ clearance.
New Business: City of Springfield experienced an extremely large # of locate tickets (approximately 200) called in for a trailer park. 811 instructed them to call in for each trailer lot in the park. Should have been 1 ticket for the entire park. 1 address = 1 locate ticket. EWEB experienced this as well.
Program: Review of upcoming projects for 2017 of the City of Eugene and Springfield.
Meeting Adjourned - 1:00pm
Next Meeting Topic: Eric Debord, from the City of Eugene Urban Forestry program, speaking on "Working Around Trees in the R/W."
