Mike Cavallini suggested a change in format for the monthly Service Report prepared by

one item for the entire day. A monthly calendar or spreadsheet format can better
represent the many responsibilities of the office, including meetings attended by the
Community Service Coordinator and Spanish translations completed by staff.
