This is a brief list of the larger projects that were done, we also started new water

(boilers), as well as prepare for the cooling season. Our HVAC contractor has
started to perform preventive maintenance (PM) on all cooling towers and chillers
throughout DCPL. Finally, we continue to perform all ongoing/required repairs
and PM on our operational equipment at all sites.

I would like to welcome Arthur Daniels our new custodial supervisor, branch
custodians from the branches and three (3) new motor vehicle operators that will
bring our mail room staff to the approved staffing level.
