Construction of this new facili~ would address all of the open <br />items from this inspection. <br /> <br />Most of the buildings built pre 1980's hove o 4% Chm/sotile Tronsite board used in their <br />construction. Our three buildings to be demolished all have some content of this transite, board <br />containing asbestos. While the transite board is not friable it is in our best interest to take the <br />opportunity to remove it. <br /> <br /> :> Safe~. conceens <br />Two of the buildings proposed for removal have open pits that have been cove~ed using a variety of <br />methods. Access is restricted, but there are still requirements that necessitate entrance to these <br />buildings. <br /> <br />Other conditions that are issues in the three buildings and would be addressed by the removal: ~' Older electrical wiring <br /> ~' Poor lighting <br /> ~' Gas pipe run throughout <br /> <br /> ;> ~j~/oyce 5at/.efact/on lEnto_clement <br />As outlined in the 5trategies section, this project would address one of the major issues brought <br />up in the employee survey. <br /> <br />Also, as mentioned in the Strategies section, this project would alleviate a great deal of the <br />scheduling challenge posed by meetings, training, and tour events. <br /> <br />/vfa/ntenance and/Ippearance <br />The. overall appearance of the ANC is that of an aging facility, which viewed in realistic terms it is. <br />Our presentation to both the public and our visitors (both internal and external customer tour <br />groups) can be much improved by removal of the 3 existing buildings and addition of the new <br />facility. <br /> <br />Maintenance is a constant challenge due to the age of the existing buildings. 5oma of the <br />repetitive and urgent issues are: <br /> ,' Aging support structures <br /> ~' Outside wall integrity (holes, tears, peeling) <br /> v' Roof integrity (patching holes) <br /> <br />Community <br />Our appearance to the general public reflects our commitment to being a good corporate citizen. <br />We intend to operate in such a manner that we are seen as a community membe~ in good standing. <br />I~emoval of the three buildings would greatly enhance our 'curb appeal". <br /> <br />Chuck ,Tensen / Operations Manager / Cargill ANC <br /> <br /> <br />
