MONTHLY REPORT: JUNE 2015
AMERICAN RED CROSS LIFEGUARD TRAINING RECERTIFICATION
COURSE: was held on 2 nights in June at Southold Town Beach. All town lifeguards
who needed recertification attended this training program.
BEACH TELEPHONES/VERIZON PHONE COMPANY: I sent an e-mail to
Verizon asking them to reconnect all 6 of the town's phones at our local beaches. Over
the fall, winter, and spring months, I put a temporary suspension on these phones, thus
saving the town quite a bit of money. Once they are reconnected, I will install the phones
and check to make sure that they are in working order.
2015 SUMMER RECREATION BROCHURE: was an insert in the May 14 edition of
The Suffolk Times. Registration began that day and brochures were delivered to all 4
local libraries, the Human Resource Center in Mattituck, town hall, local delis,
supermarkets, etc. All activities, programs, and bus trips were also listed on our website.
Registration has been going strong throughout the whole month of June.
SUMMER EMPLOYEE ORIENTATION MEETING: took place on Wednesday,
June 17 at the recreation center. All lifeguards, beach attendants, beach managers, and
water safety instructors were informed of this meeting and asked to attend. Various
topics were discussed pertaining to their job duties.
LYME DISEASE BLOODBORNE PATHOGENS, PERSONAL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT, POISON IVY/OAK & WORKPLACE VIOLENCE TRAINING
PROGRAM: was held at the recreation center on Wednesday, June 17. This training
program is mandatory for all town lifeguards, water safety instructors, beach attendants
and beach managers. Joshua Albon of Wright Risk Management gave an informative and
interesting presentation to the staff.
CPR RECERTIFICATION PROGRAMS: Three CPR recertification programs for
town lifeguards were held at the recreation center on three weekday nights in June. All
town lifeguards who needed to update their CPR certification had the opportunity to
attend one of these sessions.
2015 TOWN OF SOUTHOLD EMPLOYEE IIANM)MIOOI : In an ongoing effort to
reduce the amount of paper distributed by our office, the Town of Southold Employee
Handbook was e-mailed to all summer seasonal employees — lifeguards, beach
attendants, beach managers, and our lifeguard trainer. All employees are required to
receive this handbook and sign an Employee Handbook Acknowledgment Form, which
was included in the accounting paperwork packet that was mailed out to all seasonal
employees.
BEACH OPENINGS: All six of our town beaches opened on Saturday, June 27. All
beaches will remain open until Labor Day, Monday, September 7. Preparations on our
end included checking all beach phone connections, first aid kits updated, cleaning
restrooms, weeding beaches, training programs, handing out staff shirts, checking keys
and locks to beaches, scheduling employees, hiring new staff, stocking the beaches with
paper towels, toilet paper, soap, etc.
BATHING BEACH SAFETY PLAN: has been updated for this year. In accordance
with the SCDOH rules and regulations, copies must be kept onsite at each beach. Six
copies have been printed and will be kept in a folder at each beach. Copies are available
upon request.
SEASONAL EMPLOYEE MANUAL: has been updated for this year. Copies are
available upon request.
SWIMMING LESSONS: I was able to find 2 young ladies willing to take the American

Veteran's Beach in Mattituck and Founders Landing in Southold beginning July 13.
