Executive Secretary Willis stated that this should be covered under communications from the Board. 5-B Report Back on Equipment Operator Job Specification Executive Secretary Willis reminded the Board that at the last meeting a question was raised with regard to the classification of Equipment Operator and the classification of drivers license needed for that position. Jill Kovacs explained that she spoke with John McDonald, Parks Manager, and with Dale Lillard, Recreation and Park Director regarding this. They are aware of the licensing's requirements and said that none of their vehicles, including the water truck, meet the 25,000 pound requirement for the special license and that all their vehicles are all single axle which requires only the Class C license. Likewise, all the vehicles listed on the specification and all vehicles used in and by the Parks Department, require the Class C License. Member Villaflor moved to accept the Regular Agenda Items.
