reused from year to year. Donna Stark suggested continuing the <br />practice of giving every entrant a participant award. The planning <br />group formed a coloring contest subcommittee: Linda Eismann, Kay <br />Kronholm, Donna Stark, and Lynn Bryan. <br />* It was suggested that we develop kiosks at each main display area, <br />to serve as "mile markers." We can display coloring contest art on <br />the kiosks, which would be numbered and displayed on site map. <br />g. Tours and tour guides will continue to be needed. It was agreed we <br />need to establish a deadline for groups to sign up for tours. We <br />also should encourage self - guided tours, and we should upgrade the <br />site map to make it easier for groups to guide themselves through <br />PW Day activities. <br />* An information booth will be set up inside the main gate (in the. <br />area where in the past the stage was set up). The Info Booth <br />should include a lost and found, first aid, and radio center. <br />h. Identifying PW employees was discussed at length. There was some <br />support for T- shirts (that say, simply, City of Eugene Public Works <br />Department staff) to be distributed to all PW employees at City <br />expense. Sandra Gleason will see how Division Managers feel about <br />this proposal. Another option would be T- shirts purchased by em- <br />ployees. The drawback is that not all employees will choose to <br />purchase T- shirts, therefore there wouldn't be any sure way to <br />identify employees except name tags. Stick -on name tags were rec- <br />ommended over pinned tags. There also was some support for <br />sweatshirts. Sue Rhyne will check the price of sweatshirts and <br />report back to the planning group. <br />i. Handouts were reviewed. It was decided to use paper sacks rather <br />than plastic litter bags. The paper sacks could be stamped, possi- <br />bly as an activity at major event areas. The sacks also could be <br />colored at the coloring booth. It was agreed that we will not <br />distibute balloons because of cost concerns. Therefore, there <br />should be no balloons on site. The group generally supported the <br />idea of having buttons printed. Sue Rhyne will check on the cost <br />of buttons. An activity book will continue to be handed out. The <br />site map will be upgraded and distributed. Pencils seem like a <br />good idea. Sandra Gleason will check with Division Managers on the <br />cost of this item. <br />III. NEXT MEETING <br />a. The next meeting will be Wednesday, March 11, from 9 -11 a.m. at PWM <br />(Dick Hubbard will arrange a meeting place). Among the items to be <br />on the next meeting agenda: a tour of the PWM /PWT facilities; and <br />a dissuasion on how to build employee involvement in PW Day. <br />b. It was agreed to set a standing meeting time of Wednesdays from 9 <br />to 11 a.m. for purposes of planning Public Works Day activities. <br />
