16. OPERATIONS PROGRESS ITEM 1: Bid Law Internal Controls
Stopped the purchase of goods from a blanket purchase order for a vendor which had not been bid and yet had forced the district to encumber $15, Those materials are now being bid. We will either end the practice or greatly reduce our dependency on the blanket purchase order process prior to FY 13.

17. OPERATIONS PROGRESS ITEM 2: Separation of District & Personal Property
HCS Vehicles and Personally Owned Vehicles (POVs) have been separated. HCS vehicles are now stored inside of the security fence at night, during weekends, and when not in use.

18. OPERATIONS PROGRESS ITEM 3: Maintenance Shop Fixed Asset Inventory
Maintenance teams are now conducting an inventory of all tools and materials on the trucks and in the shop bays. Tools are being marked and we are working with Procurement to get bar coded asset tags in place when our new paperless accountability system comes online.

19. OPERATIONS PROGRESS ITEM 4: Weekly Vehicle Inspections
All HCS vehicles are now inspected weekly with discrepancies reported to the shop supervisor. This will help us better manage and assess our vehicle maintenance contract with Madison County Schools.

20. OPERATIONS PROGRESS ITEM 5: Disposal Procedures Revamped
All materials leaving the Annex must be:
1) Manifested & inspected by the Shop Supervisor
2) Inspected by Head of Maintenance
3) Inspected by Director of Operations
4) The manifest, inspection reports, pictures, and salvage yard receipts are then filed together and records will be maintained for three years

21. OPERATION PROGRESS ITEM 6: Construction Design and Management
TCU Program Managers and HOAR Program Managers are conducting assessments on our past management practices.
Recent information discovery meetings have uncovered inefficiencies and a lack of standards. We are currently in process development in coordination with the Lean Frog team.
