However, this year has been unusually busy with the relocation of the Police department and the demolition of the old facility. I apologize for the tardiness of this report. The membership of the committee has changed with the addition of Scott Miller (Fire) who replaced Al Vrshek and William Zimmerman (Police) who replaced Larry Hammar. We continue to meet every other month. The incident totals remain constant, therefore, bimonthly meetings will continue. In the next table, is a representation of the total incidents for each department for 2006. LPC, only tracks our internal totals of incidents. Please keep in mind that our internal totals do not equal or match Gallagher Bassett's, because LPC tracks all* incidents, regardless of whether it is a successful workman's compensation claim or not, or an incident with an outside party. Gallagher's yearly totals will always be lower. The following table is a recap of the past five years totals for the village and each department: De fft?7ent 2005^-123 2005—115 2004—122 2003-152 2002-151 54 28 45 40 57 35 43 46 52 48 12 9 9 6 14 7 5 5 5 10 4 11 9 17 Il 3 0 2 0 2 6 5 2 6 9 6 0 Mdf)VW 0 i 2 0 0 3 1 General Office 0 1 0 6 3 (2006 LPC report for Village Manger) < Loss Prevention Committee Minutes for December 6, 2007 Meeting Page 3 of 23 Review of Current of Reports P=30 07 : 2AN4�L SCHIMACHEF ' PLICE DEPARTMENT 8M7107 .� . Description of Incident: While assigned to squad#245 officer was traveling E/B on Greenleaf approaching Lively. Area is under construction with variances in the height of the roadway. Higher roadway is paved and lower roadway is still gravel. The front bottom of the squad made contact with the gravel causing damage to the undercarriage and lower bumper. Vehicle repair cost totaled $566.97 Supervisor's Comments & Recommendations: At this particular intersection, the height variance was adjusted by the construction company, who placed a small patch of asphalt to reduce the difference in the roadway heights. The officer needs to anticipate various driving conditions, especially while in construction areas.

Employee was transported to ABMC/ Total medical costs not yet known. Supervisor's Comments & Recommendations: All Citizen Fire Academy instructors and students were wearing safety glasses or goggles in the demonstration area. High-pressure hydraulic hose failure is a known possible hazard. Equipment and hose worked fine up to the moment of the rupture. The equipment was checked earlier prior to the start of the class. I believe the pressure where the hose burst was strong enough an hit the safety glasses at the right angle to dislodge them and expose the firefighter's eyes to hot oil. Without safety glasses injury would have been worse. Recommend the continued procedure of wearing protective eyewearto prevent or reduce exposure to injury in the future. Firefighter was wearing eye protection and his full protective clothing at the time of the incident. LPC Comments & Recommendations: Concur that goggles, not glasses should be used to cover the eyes for protection. ' .

ABMC ER doctor ordered the rabies shots (series of 4) to be given to the officer. Supervisor's Comments & Recommendations: Longer gloves, which protect the forearm would have helped. A cage/trap which allows transfer of the animal without having an officer having to handle the animal would help. LPC Comments & Recommendations: It has been decided that if animal is brought to the kennel after hours the officer will leave the animal in the cage for a kennel employee to remove.
