In addition, some changes have recently occurred in this policy. It is most important that any vehicle accident that occurs with any injury or damage to any person or vehicle be reported. If, while operating a vehicle in the performance of official duties, you are involved in a traffic accident, you must: 1) Request that all parties and properties concerned remain at the scene until a law enforcement representative releases them. 2) Assist anyone who is injured. 3) Notify the local law enforcement agency. The supervisor 4) Notify your immediate supervisor immediately. shall ensure that the city accident form is completed and sent to the Finance Office immediately. The state accident form shall also be filled out if necessary. 5) Refrain from any discussion of the accident with anyone other than the investigating officer, appropriate city official, representatives of the insurance company designated by the city and representatives of your own insurance company if your privately owned vehicle is involved. Any accident that occurs that results in any damage or injury will be reviewed by the Accident Review Board for two reasons. The first reason is to establish who is responsible for the accident and if the accident was preventable. The second reason is to determine what steps could be taken to prevent a similar accident from occurring in the future. The Accident Review Board is made up of three people: the Assistant Safety Director, Devere King; the Deputy City Manager of the involved department; and one person selected by the employee whose accident is being reviewed. If you are the person whose accident is being reviewed, you may select any employee of the city to sit on the board. The person you select may refuse and then you must select an alternate city employee. The Safety Director, Bob Young, will also be present to ensure that the review is fair and impartial; however, the recommendations of the board are determined by the three members only. It is very important that any damage including scratches and dents to city vehicles is reported. Failure to report such items could create serious problems. (Continued on next page) *********************************************************************** �THE CITY'S ACCIDENT REVIEW AND REPORT POLICY (continu~d from last page) Should the board place responsibility on a city employee, the City Manager could impose a punishment if the situation was serious enough. Before accepting responsibility for any vehicle or piece of equipment, you should make an inspection to ensure that the vehicle or equipment is in proper operating condition and has no recent damage. Any shortcomings or problems should be reported to your supervisor. Due to state and federal law, personal injury accidents have other requirements. Any injury to a city employee must be reported to the Personnel Office within 72 hours. Normally, this is accomplished by completing the Workman's Compensation report form. However, if an accident or injury occurs to more than one person or results in serious injury or death, the following procedure shall be followed: 1) Report the injury immediately to: A) Bob Young: Work Phone 289-5801 Home Phone 452-7551 B) Devere King: Work Phone 289-5801 Home Phone 421-7662 Should the accident involve the death of a person or hospitalize three or more persons and~ £i. the above can be reached, call: A) Colorado Occupational Safety and Health Unit Phone 893-1233, X54 If C.O.S.H. cannot be reached, call: B) Colorado State Patrol Phone 757-9428 We all want the safest working environment possible at Thornton. Before we can achieve this, we must first identify the problems. The intent of these policies and the Accident Review Board is to accomplish this identification. *********************************************************************** BITS & PIECES Tom Clouser went back to Illinois the week of April 12 to attend his grandmother's funeral. Our sympathy to Tom. Jim Castrodale finally took off on a much needed, well deserved vacation and headed for Texas and Louisiana to visit with some of Jane's relatives. We understand that he will be the proud owner of a new pickup which he plans to "pick up" in Texas in approximately six weeks or so. Since we moved into the new building, trying to reach a fellow employee by phone, particularly if you don't work on the same floor and keep up on the latest happenings, has gotten to be a real game of "who has what extension?" We have moved again on the second floor, with Mr. Keller and Linda changing places. Bob Donaldson went to the basement, temporarily, and returned and Jim Perry was sitting temporarily in the City Manager's office with his feet on the desk. (Just kidding, boss! He wouldn't dare since he admitted to me one day in confidence that he has a hole in his shoe.) I understand that changes are taking place just as rapidly in the basement. Anytime I'm not sure who's where down there, I just call general information (Bev and Libby) and inquire as to who's who in the zoo. Christine Danko, one of our high school girls, is celebrating her birthday the 21st of May. Let's not forget to wish her a "Happy Birthday!" *********************************************************************** �SKIING VACATION My wife and I stayed a week in Breckenridge, Colorado and skied all the ski areas in Summit County; these being Breckenridge, Keystone, Copper Mountain and Vail. We had company that came up from Texas; one of my roommates from Viet Nam a1d his wife and child; and some relatives from Kansas. We really had a good time. The only black spot on the trip was the fact that my ski gear was "ripped off" while at lunch at Breckenridge. This had a dampening affect, needless to say, on that day of skiing, as well as the whole vacation. I did have some homeowners' insurance that will cover part of it, but not all of it. I then went and rented some skis to finish my vacation. Believe me, skiing seven days in a row is hard on the old "bod." However, we really enjoyed it and are already planning our vacation for next year. Having skied recently, I think the snow conditions are getting somewhat worse for those of us who are spoiled with powder and packed powder. The snow now is slush in the afternoons and ice in the mornings. If you are going skiing in the future, I would encourage you to either lock your skis up when leaving them, or arrange them so they are spread out over the area -- in other words don't put both skis of a pair in one spot. I found this out "after the cows were gone," but would like to pass it on to everyone. Jim Perry *********************************************************************** FLUSHING OUT BURGLARS An item came in to the ICMA NUTS & BOLTS recently that looks like an "April Fools" story, but we have been assured by the city officials who sent it that it really happened. In a southern California community, Loc a L police responded to a "burglary in progress" call from a resident. Finding that the intruders had fled the scene, the officers left their patrol vehicle and pursued the suspects on foot, A search was undertaken in the adjacent area covered by heavy brush. One of the officers, under pressure from an earlier coffee break, responded to physiological urgings in a typical undercover fashion using a nearby bush. A shocked suspect arose from the bush and was immediately confronted by the police officer. Needless to say, the suspect's spirits were dampened. The police officer drew his gun and ordered, "hands up." Not only did the suspect comply, but his two accomplices in nearby cover also arose, undoubtedly fearful of being subjected to strong measures by police. Being some distance from his partner, the officer summoned help by using his police whistle. The three suspects were apprehended successfully. *********************************************************************** be.~ 'f n.- ~ Gt :r:'Y\ -r; ~ e . . • *********************************************************************** �CONGRATULATIONS On May 7, 1976, Ray Zink will have been working for the Water Department as a filter plant operator for 20 years. Ray started to work here before Thornton owned the water system. It was at that time owned by Northwest Utilities. Ray is a native of Denver, a graduate of West High School and a veteran of the Navy. Ray and his wife of 30 years, Burnie, live at 9659 Covey Court in Northglenn. They have two sons: Danny (27) and David (19); and one grandson, Zach. In his spare time, Ray collects music boxes and has two purebred black Newfoundland dogs that he sometimes enters in shows. Ray is a friend to most everyone in the City and to those who don't know him, it is you who are at a loss. Ray is a kind-hearted, generous man who can get along well with anyone. To you, Ray Zink, we, your fellow employees, would like to take this opportunity to thank and congratulate you on your truly fine 20 years of giving to everyone around you, and may the next 20 years be made easier. s:~ 10 to ;CJ 7b lUi-tk ~ Gj~ 1r'- 'L_ ~ i £~--tL~ s.:: ;,.___ -LL,,_ '\ ~\~J, r Yl. ,.ft ;zo c,~ ~~ fl/\~ ~\\y ~~ er (? :r, - ~·~~ ~~ ' t'~ .-<' ,.

NEW ORGANIZATION FORMED Barbara Taylor and her husband went to Las Vegas the 15th of April for a week of gambling. Nancy Vincent's right arm is in a splint again! In the meantime, Evelyn is not on the switchboard. She will be handling Nancy's regular responsibilities while Nancy manages the switchboard and does odd jobs. I think Nancy just wrapped her arm so she could get a change; what do you think? She says the doctor will remove the splint on May 7-- then from there, who knows? Bert and Nancy have been relocated due to the building of Mr. Lease's office right over their previous location. Bert's extension is now 274 and Nancy's is 275. Congratulations to Mr. Lease on the construction of his very own "corner" of City Hall! There has been a new organization formed in February and March. No official name has been selected yet and membership consists of all women connected with the police department. To start things off, a garage sale was held at the Rod Myers' house and $53 was collected in one day. The group would like to thank everyone for their help and a special thanks to Donna Myers who turned her dining room into a hot dog stand and convention hall, Everyone had so much fun that there will be another sale -- watch for a new date. (A certain detective wanted to know if there was anything left at his home -everything that wasn't nailed down turned up at the Myers'.) The event for April was an Easter Egg Hunt for the members' children with a surprise visit from the Easter Bunny. A real one! (It could have been Jean or was it really Jay?) Anyone who would like to donate scraps of material for quilts, please contact Nancy Martin at 429-9673. ********************************** ********************************** ********************************** NEWS FROM UTILITIES �TELEPHONE PROBLEMS As all of you are aware, we have had numerous problems with our telephone system since moving to our new City Hall. This will be an attempt to summarize for you the problems, as well as the solutions that we are trying to accomplish. Unfortunately, we have had a series of problems relating to both Mountain Bell, as well as Electromedia, our private telephone equipment company. A list of the more major problems, as well as the attempts to solve them are as follows: (1) Extensions Outside City Hall. This was a problem which was obviously identified last November. Two major meetings have been held within the last thirty to sixty days with rep~esentatives of Mountain Bell, as well as Electromedia. These companies had spent several months arguing over whose "fault" the problem was. However, Mountain Bell has finally admitted its responsibility in this area. They have promised, on three separate occasions, to replace all of the lines leading from the City Hall to the off-premise locations, as these lines are undersized power-wise to handle the load over the distances involved. The last promise I had was that work would be completed the first week in April. I am now told as a result of a recent meeting that the work will be completed by the time you read this. Let's hope so! (2) Lines Busy all the Time. We have also had a problem with our trunk lines themselves being inadequate to handle the sheer volume of calls. In other words, people are getting busy signals or are unable to reach City Hall at all. Internal personnel cannot obtain lines to call out on. Mountain Bell was requested over three months ago to run a "call study" of our lines which would indicate the total number of trunks that we need to handle our volume. This study has still not been completed despite numerous follow-ups but has been promised within two to three weeks. Secondly, we have had a malfunction in our tape units which are connected after 5 o'clock to a recording which indicates that the City Hall is closed until the next working day. These units were jamming, thus tying up two trunk lines, which in turn carried over to the next morning, as these lines were not able to be freed when the switchboard was turned back on. Hopefully, this problem has now been corrected. (3) Miscellaneous Items. Finally, we have had a number of small breakdowns from time to time with our equipment itself located inside the building. Electromedia has been quite good about responding and taking care of these types of problems as soon as possible. I can assure you that no one is more interested than myself in solving these problems and everything that is possible is being done. Unfortunately, we are dealing with a very large company which has many levels of bureaucratic maze to work through in order to get action. You might be interested to know that over $2,000 in charges by Mountain Bell for service calls have been rejected by the City on the basis that they have not provided such "service" to us. Mountain Bell has finally agreed to absorb these charges themselves until such time as our system is working properly. In order to coordinate answers to our telephone problems, I'd like to remind all of you again that it is necessary to either refer a problem to our switchboard operator or to myself so that we are totally aware of what is wrong at any given time. Bob Wilson *********************************************************************** �JUST WAIT 'TIL NEXT YEAR The days of riding the wind on exceedingly skinny slivers of fiberglass, shooshing down the milk-colored slopes with the sun warming your back, zigging and zagging right then left and, in short, trying to kill yourself, have drawn to a close. I'm shattered! After yearning for 20 years to learn how to ski, I finally got up guts (and money) enough to try the true sport of sports and I love it. I love it! I heartily recommend it to anyone who has not, as yet, given it a fling. I must admit, however, that skiing absolutely terrifies me each and every time. I'm scared spitless from the moment I clamp on that last binding until the minute I mutilate my poor numb fingers trying to get the darn boots off at the end of the day. But, by the time we are five miles down the road, tired and exhausted, hungry and heading for home, I'm already planning my next trip back. *********************************************************************** NATIONAL SECRETARY'S WEEK THANKS The week of April 19 through 23 was National Secretary's Week. During that week all of us honored those very vital people in the City of Thornton who serve in many different capacities. The secretary is the person you go to when the boss is out of town, out goofing off or hiding in his office, and you need an answer fast. Secretaries are efficient and always seem to know what to do. In total, congratulations to all the secretaries in the City for a week of recognition they certainly deserve. I would like to thank the city administration and staff for the gorgeous flowers that they sent to me Friday, April 9, at the hospital. They sure had good timing. When I awoke from the anesthetic, with my mouth full of gauze and all my bones and muscles aching from lying in bed for so long and wondering what the -- heck -I was doing willingly submitting myself to that unbearable uncomfortableness, they were a real morale booster.

Their arrival in Durango was slightly delayed, and their story reads as follows: At noon, on Wednesday the 24th, Jim and I set out in a rented, 12seater van to pick up 5 other members of the CMMAA organization and their wives to attend a 2-day seminar in Durango entitled "Decision Making -- As the Kitchen Gets Hotter, the Cooks Get Fewer." Before leaving, both of us wolfed down our filet mignon lunches (a la Burger King)so that we could get to the appointed meeting place in Westminster 15 minutes before the planned departure time of 12:30. Upon our arrival, however, we found only a deserted parking lot and no one in sight. As a consequence, we soaked up the rays of the spring sun until our compatriots arrived, some 45 minutes later. We never did determine if there was a mix-up in the time or if everyone was just late. In any event, we were rolling by 1:30 and were making good time with the help of Jim Perry's driving --"HOLD ON EVERYBODY!" At 2:30 we started losing power on an uphill incline and everybody leaned forward to give the van a boost. Unfortunately, though our leaning did not help much, and we were all forced to get out and push. After finding a place to stop on the side of the road, the seven male members of the party examined the engine -"What's this?" "That's the alternator." "No, you dope, that's the radiator."-- and were unable to find the source of our problem. Fortunately though, we were being followed by another CMMAA member in a pickup truck who kindly offered Jim Perry and another individual a ride to the nearest phone. After standing by the road for an hour and a half and wondering what had happened to "JP & Company," we were finally rescued by the pickup owner who drove us down the road to a bar where Jim and another member were still trying, via telephone, to get the van company to send out another vehicle -- "How many beers did you sip between calls, Jim?" In any event, the van company wanted all of us to return to Denver to get rented cars, but failed to tell us how to get back to Denver. The other alternative was to have the van towed 12 miles back to Bailey to see if it could be fixed. We opted for the second choice and found ourselves back in beautiful downtown Bailey (two gas stations, two cafes, a liquor store, two motels, and most importantly Harold's Garage) in a short while after clamoring into the back of the pickup. · In Bailey, there was good news and bad news. The good news was that a bus going to Durango stopped in Baily every day at 3:30 p.m. The bad news was that it was 5:30 p.m. As a consequence, members of our group decided to take a tour of the town while the mechanics at Harold's Garage worked on the van. At the second gas station, we were met by an 85 year old gas jockey who gave us his philosophy on life, "I'm retired, but I work one day a week at the station and chase women the other six days!" After another hour or so of walking around, Harold's mechanics had our van going and things were beginning to look up. It turned out that there was an electrical short in the alternator which in turn was causing a fuse to blow every now and then. While they could not get rid of tre short, they .put in a new fuse and gave us a half a dozen more, which would surely get us to Durango. At that point, it was necessary to retie all of our luggage to the top of the van since we had previously put it inside for safe-keeping. (Continued on next page) *********************************************************************** �SEMINAR (continued from last page) Once again, we were rolling with Jim Perry at the helm. This time we rolled back a hundred feet to the nearest gas station and blew the first fuse; next we rolled forward another 100 feet and blew the second fuse. Since it was now 6:30 p.m. and getting dark and cold very fast, our group was confronted with a decision of going back to Denver in the pickup and missing most or all of the conference or trying to ride the pickup all the way to Durango. At that point, it was Durango or bust, so we piled our suitcases and other accouterments into the bottom of the pickup and placed a pad which we had on the top to make the seating more bearable. Once again, we had good news and bad news. The good news was that the pickup owner had a homemade fiberglass top on the back of the pickup. The bad news was that there was an open gap of about three inches between the cab and the homemade cover. Fortunately, we were able to roll up several blankets and partially plug the gap; unfortunately, the blankets would not stay in place and we found ourselves in a wind tunnel. At that point, someone suggested an orgy to develop some body heat, but we found that nobody or almost nobody could move since the physical characteristics of our surroundings basically resembled a sardine can. Furthermore, the individual on my left discovered that his wife was sitting opposite from him and next to Jim Perry. As a consequence, they decided to switch places. Fortunately, after many grunts and groans they made the switch; unfortunately, Jim Perry somehow ended up in my lap -- "Arggg, I'm suing for damages!" In the end we coasted into Durango and Tamarro Lodge shortly before 1:45 a.m. Jim's color by that time was slightly blue from the cold, but his cap emblazoned "Olton Co-op" was still intact. Yours truly had somehow slept through the latter part of the journey and was contemplating his navel and a hot shower (not necessarily in that order). The conference itself turned out rather well, and our next two days easily made up for the initial inconveniences. Tom Clouser *********************************************************************** OUR STRANGE LANGUAGE We'll begin with a box and the plural is boxes, But the plural of ox is oxen, not oxes. Then, one fowl is a goose but two are called geese, Yet the plural of moose should never be meese. You find a lone mouse or a whole set of mice, Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice. If the plural of man is always called men, Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen? If I speak of a foot and you show me your feet, And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet? If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth, Why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth? Then, one may be that, and three would be those, Yet hat in the plural wouldn't be hose. We speak of a brother and also say brethren, But though we say Mother, we never say Methren. Then, the masculine pronouns are he, his, and him, But imagine the feminine she, shis, and shim. So English, I fancy you all will agree, Is the funniest language you ever did see. --Anonymous *********************************************************************** �APPRECIATE IT I would like to thank the Council and Staff for the beautiful plant that they sent me while I was laid-up sick in the hospital. I would also like to thank the water and sewer maintenance crew for the flowers and everybody who came to see me. It's nice to know there are still some very nice and thoughtful people around. Thanks again. Ivan Clair ********************************** FOR SALE 1973 Yamaha 250 R.D.; 3,000 miles; excellent condition. Ineludes helmets, sissy bar and highway pegs.

CITY OF THORNTON'S 20TH ANNIVERSARY As far as can be determined, Thornton, Colorado is the only city inthe nation to have the honor and distinction of celebrating three significant birthdays in 1976; our nation's 200th, our state's 100th and our city's 20th. The city was incorporated on May 26, 1956, and in honor of this occasion, a special ceremony will be held prior to the regular City Council meeting on Monday, May 24. Featured will be the presentation of the winning entry for the City Flag Contest, now in progress at the Thornton and Highland High Schools. In addition, a special birthday cake has been commissioned by the Thornton Centennial-Bicentennial Committee, designed by the recent Bicentennial Cake Decorating Contest grand-prize winner. Miss Thornton 1976 will also be present to make a special presentation to the city. We sincerely hope that you will attend these ceremonies scheduled to begin at 8:00 p.m. *********************************************************************** UTILITY MAINTENANCE NEWS First, we want to say goodbye to Joe (Shorty) Spears. Shorty will be retiring the 1st of May. He has given the department many fine years and we hate to see him leave. With the wage committee now forming, we want to congratulate (and thank) Al Frey for being elected our representative this year. Cary Palmer is getting acquainted with our operations this week. I understand that he even got his feet wet the other day. I also understand it didn't take him long to get into the routine. With the phones finally working at the shop, we hardly know how to act with the rest of the world in touch with us. Just in case you have forgotten, our night number is 289-5806. With Shorty's retirement, a Maintenance Specialist I position will be opening. Finally, the guys will have an opportunity for advancement. There is only one position open, however, with six applicants. Doug got an opportunity to try his water tight welding last week when a service blew off of one of our twenty inch steel lines. His ability to weld this saved the city quite a bit of money. Don and crew have been hitting the wash truck pretty hard since we got the pump repaired. Now there's a problem with the engine again. The night shift has been pretty busy also. Mike and Tom are both just getting over the flu. This put us behind, and we are just getting caught-up. That's about it. Jeff Ter Avest *********************************************************************** �LET'S VOTE QUESTIONS & ANSWERS Any employees, or friends of employees living in Shaw Heights may vote May 4 at the Shaw Heights Water Office at 88th & Lowell 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. for your choice to the Shaw Heights Water Board of Directors -- and a good choice is Fred Davidson! ********************************** BELATED THANKS • A belated thanks to the Fire Department for their quick response when my wife and son fell. Hopefully, by now, everyone knows that Jacob is just fine. Sorry I missed the last issue with this, fellas. Jeff Ter Avest Gasoline Consumption Q-Does it take more gasoline when running slow and in congested traffic than when running on country roads? A-Yes, this fact was demonstrated by a Marmon car recently. In the business district of Chicago ten and one half miles per gallon was the average, whereas on streets where conditions were similar to country roads the same car did fifteen and three fourths miles per gallon! Most likely due to the momentum of car in the one case, and absence of it, in the other.
