The District Code requires various reporting at year end: • Code Section 4.12.4 requires that the General Manager shall submit to the Board of Directors an annual report summarizing the safety activities for the past year. • Code Section 8.06.020 requires that the General Manager shall submit to the Board of Directors in January of each year a report of all real property and easements accepted or abandoned during the previous year. • Code Section 8,12.010.5 requires that the General Manager shall report annually during the month of January to the Board of Directors regarding the use of the Board room by outside organizations during the previous year. • Code Section 8.30.070.8 requires that once a year District staff will gather information on all Encroachment Permits, the status of the same and will provide an annual report to the District's Board of Directors. 3. NEW INFORMATION a) SAFETY: Some of the objectives include providing a healthy and safe work environment for all District employees, manage the District in an environmentally sound manner and to manage in an effective, efficient and fiscally responsible manner.
