A crew of airport maintenance <br />and city maintenance staff put in long hours in miserable weather to imple- <br />ment the airport's new snow removal program. As a result of their efforts, <br />no flights were cancelled during the 10 -day storm -- a new record! Jerry <br />Donald from the airport, will accept the award for the crew. <br />Airport staff includes: <br />Jerry Donald Bruce Smith <br />Mark Tusek (Too sek) Mike Coontz <br />Jim Mahoney Ken Blacketer <br />Shawna Sully Don Lancaster <br />Mike Tusek (Too sek) Henry Crafts <br />Richard Weiss <br />From Maintenance: <br />Ed Spaght (spate) <br />Don Malm <br />Dub Davee <br />Myron Boss <br />For 10 consecutive days during the snow storm, the Emergency Command Center <br />at the Maintenance yards was operational around the clock. Maintenance <br />employees worked long hours combating the snow and ice storm to keep trans- <br />portation routes in operation for emergency vehicles and the public. All <br />Maintenance sections worked during the storm. Ralph Wendt (WENT) will accept <br />the award for Maintenance. <br />In January, the variable frequency drives at the Willakenzie and West Irwin <br />sewage pumping stations suffered equipment failure. The units could not be <br />rebuilt locally and replacements for the seven drives would cost the City <br />nearly $110,000. After a great deal of research, three Wastewater employees <br />found repair parts and repaired the units themselves. Total costs, including <br />labor, were $23,800; a savings to taxpayers of $86,200. Larry Pedersen will <br />accept the award; crew members include: <br />Delmar Storment <br />Ken Carney <br />
