Agency Evidence of Compliance:
Clerical and administrative staff play an important role in ensuring that the District operates as efficiently and effectively as possible. The Park District's organizational chart1 highlights these staff. Equally important to the success of the agency are the tools that staff are provided with to accomplish their tasks.
Clerical, administrative and professional staff all have access to workstations2-4 with phones, internet and e-mail access, and desktop or laptop computers, each with current Microsoft Office programs, and other software programs as needed such as registration, accounting, time-keeping, and work order software. The Park District provides office equipment for staff to use ranging from basic supplies to more specialized items such as paper cutters, laminating machines, etc.5 High-capacity all-in-one printer/scanner/fax machines6 are located at each Park District facility where business or customer service operations are housed (and are accessible outside of these facilities on the Park District's network) and smaller versions are available at all other facilities.
