Adam will you please send the following to the Eagle Scout. CC myself and Mac? Season to taste of course. His email is in the one I just sent to Sharon.

Sir, thank you for reaching out to the City of Molalla about volunteer opportunities. My Supervisor is working with Risk Management now to make sure our Volunteer program is up to speed (our insurance company has to approve the jobs we do). In the mean time, here is one job we came up with. Would your scout be interested?

Thanks very much,

Adam

Detention Pond Maintenance – the map attached shows in Dark Blue the locations of City-owned Detention Facilities. These Facilities require removal of invasive species such as Blackberries. Community Service volunteers may remove any plant species considered Invasive by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, piling them in the public Right-of-Way on the nearest dump-truck accessible curbline that does not block fire hydrants, driveways, or other public infrastructure. This job should not be started unless the volunteer commits to producing a pile at least the size of a passenger car (the economic breakpoint for transport). Once a pile at least this size has been made, volunteer may call for pickup and disposal by the City: 503-793-9043, or by email to shops@cityofmolalla.com. Work-in-process piles smaller than this should not remain for more than 72 hours in order to avoid issues with neighbors – they should be completed to size and pickup called for. The City of Molalla cannot supply manpower, tools, materials, or equipment to volunteers for this job. If terms in these instructions are unclear to students (map reading, definition of ‘right-of-way’, etc) then part of the work is for the student to train themselves on their meaning and use. The use of Chemical Pesticide by volunteers is prohibited. Stormwater facilities feed the waters of the State must be protected. Any petroleum spills, such as gasoline, must immediately be reported to the City of Molalla. Volunteers are responsible for making themselves aware of, and following, all federal, state, and local regulation, including those related to Environmental Protection and Occupational Health and Safety. Volunteers are warned that dangerous items have been found in bioswales in the past, including sharps (needles), houseless individuals personal items, or containers of unknown substances. If the volunteer discovers any such items they should stop work and notify the City. The City may not be able to move these items and work may have to proceed to another area. The Volunteer may request the City of Molalla signoff on Community Service hours for this job. To Receive hours the Volunteer must supply a statement of time spent (timesheet) along with before and after photographs of the work are. The photographic evidence must match the time spent as determined by Public Works’ through knowledge of process. Volunteers must follow procedures outlined in the City of Molalla’s Volunteer Handbook. Before work begins all waivers required by the Volunteer Handbook must be signed and on file with the City Manager’s Administrative assistant.
