Nordic Updates

[Dershem, Edward A]

All,

Keys: The planets aligned, and I was able to meet with the Property Manager for key issuance.  However, direction from the top has indicated that any volunteer requiring keys are required to go through a background check and procedures for being issued a PIV card.  So, we can explore that route and select an individual to put through the process or we can continue to rely on those with keys already issued.

Vehicle:   The park is ready to begin outfitting the new Tahoe, so that will be brought to Enumclaw rendering it unavailable.  I'll be heading to Enumclaw tomorrow (1/31) to pick-up the aviation truck (Pegasus) that the Nordic team has had historical use of.  Please note that the front rotors have some warpage that can be felt upon heavy braking.  This vehicle should not be used for towing.

Weekend Outlook:  Given the impending winter storm (after a long break of snow), we'll more than likely remain closed tomorrow (1/31).  I'd anticipate a late opening Saturday morning.

Hey Lindsey and Ed,

Thanks,

I could try and have Jaclyn give me a key issued to Tom.  Tom, you'd just be responsible in the event the key goes MIA.

Tom H. mentioned he would be returning to patrol but I wasn’t sure how soon and not sure if a physical hand off was necessary?

I believe Terry and Tom J. Also might hold keys from their summer roles and might be willing to take on this if it doesn’t work out for Tom H.

"Likely closed to the public tomorrow"

We have another truck for Nordic use parked at the EOC (keys are in the bottom office on the screw in the wall).

Unsure if there will be 2 Tahoes at the Nisqually House in the morning.
