The BUILDING MAINTENANCE DIVISION is responsible for the long and short term maintenance, safety, and reliability of eleven public sites totaling approximately 130,000 sq/ft. The sites include; Town Hall, Veterans’ Memorial Park, Community Center, Police Department, Little League Shack, Rotary Pavilion, Press Box, Library, Wapping Community House, and the Town Garage.
Some sites are used on a 24/7 basis needing coverage around the clock and some sites are seasonal like the VMP and Rotary Pavilion. Regardless of their use all of the sites require similar attention.
Some of the major requirements of the staff are to ensure that contractors and vendors are providing the services that they have contracted for as well as maintaining the individual sites HVAC, fire, water, electrical and emergency backup systems that ensure a comfortable, healthy and safe facility for all to use.
Our main focus has been on building the Maintenance Team as a whole so that all employees have the same knowledge base to complete their work. We do this in a number of ways, for both new and existing employees. Our training consists of technical training, both in-house and off site training, “on the job training” and practical training. Although training is an ongoing process, the Division is undergoing a large push to get all employees up to speed. Some of the training we are currently conducting is computer training, hands on “cross training” as well as individually focused training.
