Council Minutes of $/18/2009 He agrees about allowing dogs into the parks, but fine the owners if they don't pick up after them. 8) Jim Burns, 3978 Dover Center, questioned Mr. Gareau on his report that a maintenance employee at Springvale was not being replaced. He noted there are special maintenance needs in some of the buildings. For example, the dance floor has special needs that an ordinary person might not understand when they're maintaining these things. He was just wondering who was going to fill in and take care of the maintenance responsibility of this facility. CLS Director Dailey came forward and said, over the last number of years, the two outside maintenance workers have been used, especially in the winter months when they're not busy on the course. The winter months are when activity picks up in the ballroom. From the months of November through May, they'll be maintaining a lot more of the inside, as well as some part-time people who are currently employed. Legislation will be before Council at the next meeting to eliminate the position of Custodial Supervisor, which was an office of one and did not supervise anyone, from the organizational chart. Mr. Burns said it was his understanding that the reason he supervised nobody was because he did the job.
