# SAINT JAMES ISLANDS

## VEHICLES:

Tap is very responsive to get broken down vehicles repaired, but the number of vehicles constantly needing attention leaves little time for preventive maintenance.

Vehicles left outside year round is creating massive maintenance needs. Everything rusts to pieces in short time. A large enough shed for inside storage would do wonders.

Kawasaki's are great for most tasks, but when landscaping uses them to haul rocks and pull equipment, the belt drive breaks. The landscape managers need to make it clear that these are for tool and people transport only.

I would recommend letting each user be responsible for cleaning their own work vehicle at the end of the day. Have them stop 10 min early and hose down the vehicle before parking it for the night, hang tools in correct place and leave everything nice, clean and organized.

To expedite this cleaning, I would construct a "car wash" with a pressure cleaner and sprayer hose mounted on the wall (See picture of area) so it is a matter of parking the vehicle, spray it down and park it without having to hook up hoses.

The image shows a potential car wash area with cleaning equipment. Items visible include blue barrels, trash bins, a garden hose, a mop, and two wheeled carts. The area has a green wall. The ground is concrete and has dirt and muddy spots.

When all vehicles are clean, two guys clean the area for mud and small rocks before getting on the boat. Flat tires is another issue. Install a compressor so staff can inflate tires as well after vehicle is cleaned if needed
