Mrs. Ross opened the meeting at 10:00am.
Review of injury reports: A review of the injury reports took place with six reported in the last quarter. The Majority were slips and falls.
Training: Training will be coordinated for the OSHA 10 certification for the entire Public Works and Parks & Recreation Departments in early November.
Old business: Mrs. Ross reported that the Police Commission has recommended a raised crosswalk for both entrances of the municipal center. The next phase of the process would be for design.
Building inspections/concerns: The Fire Marshal has completed the inspections for town buildings.
Mrs. O’Masta gave a summary of a report prepared by Mr. Finaldi of Rose and Kiernan highlighting our claims for the last 5 years. Our claims history has not been consistent. At present we have doubled our total losses by 50% from last year. However, this is driven by a single claim.
