t <br /> STATUS REPORT ON THE STREET TREE INVENTORY <br /> as of 12/06/94 <br /> In July of 1994 the tree crew obtained a street tree inventory <br /> system /software and a work order processing system from the RJN group from <br /> Wheaton, Illinois. The software was installed September 12th. <br /> Installation included some system modification, tree code identification, and <br /> three days of training was provided to tree crew and maintenance planning <br /> personnel. The instructor (Scott Rebman) provided by RJN, as well as his <br /> presentation, were excellent. This initial training centered around entering <br /> data and moving around within the system. <br /> Mr. Rebman returned during the third week in November for a second <br /> session. This training covered service requests and work orders. The front <br /> office staff was introduced to service requests during this visit. It <br /> was decided that the tree crew would implement the new system sometime <br /> after the new year when Mr. Rebman returns for a third training session. <br /> Currently the tree crew staff is using the new system on a <br /> limited trial basis. It has been easy to use and appears to be user friendly. <br /> An added advantage is that this system has been in use by the sewer crew for 1 <br /> 1/2 years. Their familiarity with the system helped the tree crew <br /> adjust to the system. <br /> The third training session is to provide the basic information for our <br /> street tree inventory as well as two data collection devices. Bob Blanchard <br /> and John Luther will be contacting Mr. Rebman on or around the 19th of <br /> December to see what needs to be done concerning tree codes. We will be <br /> gathering this information and developing tree codes prior to his arrival. We <br />
