Strategy 1 - Training
Provide training to promote safety and efficiency of the work force. Provide cross training within the area and provide in-house promotion opportunity to keep institutional knowledge within the department.
Training of personnel allows the employees to be more efficient and safe in their daily activities and enables them to serve the campus community to higher level.
Strategy 2 - Green Cleaning
Continue to implement and expand green cleaning practices.
Green cleaning practices promote campus health and sustainability because substances used are sustainable, non-toxic and non-butyl with low VOCs.
Strategy 3 - Student Employment
Employ and train students.
Research has shown that students who are employed on campus have a much higher rate of success in their academic careers.
Strategy 4 - Workload Analysis
Analyze workloads and reorganize work assignments to optimize employee efficiency.
As conditions change and new square footage is added, work assignments may become unbalanced. Analysis and reorganization will optimize employee effectiveness.
Strategy 5 - Inspections
Continue inspections to measure cleaning service levels using the APPA standards to benchmark against state and national sister institutions.
Accurate measurement will allow more effective management of custodial operations.
Strategy 6 - Equipment Replacement
Continue a systematic program to replace and upgrade the custodial equipment.
Equipment has a finite life and requires replacement on a regular basis.
Strategy 7 - Vehicle Replacement
Continue the vehicle replacement program.
Total current fleet is eight vehicles. Three gas vehicles are over 30 years old and two electric vehicle is over 15 years old and have exceed their life expectancy. The Custodial Department has a gas vehicle for another electrical utility cart. The average expected life of 10 years.
Strategy 8 - Waste
Continue to monitor and maintain our 75% diversion rate of our waste stream.
In efforts to support the District's sustainability initiatives the custodial department will work with the campus through education and implementation of recycling programs and waste management.
Strategy 9 - Increase Current Custodian, Upgrade One Custodian I to II, Purchase Vehicle and Equipment and Cover Services at Glenn Center
Purchase vehicle and equipment, increase current Custodian I at the Glenn Center from 20 hours, 11 months to 40 hours, 12 months, and upgrade one Custodian I to Custodian II to also support minor maintenance and grounds repairs for all off campus sites including the new Glenn Center which has an increased 6 acres of hardscape and landscape.
The new Glenn Center will come onlilne in August 2022. Current staffing level for the Glenn Center is inadequate to provide appropriate custodial services for the new Glenn Center.
Need authorization from Leadership to expand Custodian I position from 20hrs/11mo to 40hrs/12mo and upgrade one Custodian I to Custodian II, and assistance from Human Resources to expand and upgrade the positions.

This would allow minor maintenance to be performed and investigated without having to dispatch a maintenance technician to the off-campus sites facilities when it might not be necessary allowing for them to concentrate on the main campus and only be dispatched when the tasks are out of the Custodian II�s classification. This is a cost savings option for the District. |
