February, several scouts, their parents, and parks staff constructed a <br /> boardwalk and surfaced 400 feet of trail with gravel. The boardwalk utilized a relatively new foundation system in which <br /> 'tal pins are driven through and anchor to the ground, creating an exceptionally stable foundation. Another innovative <br /> ..mature of the project is that the decking of the boardwalk is made out of recycled, plastic lumber. The work was funded <br /> in large part by a State of Oregon Recreational Trails Grant. For more information, contact Chris Girard at 682-4845. <br /> Public Works Schedules Open House for Seasonal Employment Information <br /> The Public Works Department will hold a seasonal employment information session on Monday, March 17, at 5:30 p.m. <br /> in the large conference room at Public Works Maintenance, 1820 Roosevelt Boulevard. The open house is an <br /> opportunity for potential applicants to learn more about the department and seasonal employment opportunities, meet <br /> and network with hiring supervisors, and pick up application packets for these seasonal positions. <br /> Each summer, Public Works hires between 35 and 50 seasonal employees who perform services such as parks and <br /> grounds maintenance, building and custodial maintenance projects, concrete and asphalt projects, bike path <br /> maintenance, street striping and curb painting, and wetland restoration and botanical monitoring. Applicants must be at <br /> least 18 years of age, and the pay ranges from $8 to $14.65 per hour. While the seasonal positions are temporary,they <br /> do provide excellent experience that can prepare entry-level workers for regular employment.
