BACKGROUND AND COMMENT
The Corporate Services Department, 2004 Capital Budget included funds in the amount of $12,000.00 for the
installation of a wind barrier at the customer service desk. (Project # 2500-8130-04100) It was originally
thought that the wind barrier would have to be designed and installed by an external private contractor, but on
further review the Operations Department was able to purchase the required materials and construct the
barrier at a much lower cost. The total cost of the "in house" installation of the wind barrier was $2,200.00,
with the remaining $9,800.00 carried over for use in 2005.
The Communication and Marketing Division relocated to the first floor of the Municipal Administration Centre
in June, 2003. At that time, the existing work stations were assembled with remaining components of steel
case work stations. Due to the type of equipment used and design work created by the Division, the existing
work stations are ergonomically unsuited and do not make the most efficient use of the space available.
It is recommended that the currently unexpended $9,800.00 be used for redesign and purchase of ergonomic
work stations/equipment, suitable to the type of work done and equipment used by the Division.
