Priority B is given to handicapped personnel during duty hours. Priority C is given to van pools, bus pools, car pools, and the list goes on. It also says unit commanders may assign a limited number of parking spaces, normally not to exceed 10 percent of the total area available for personnel parking at each installation or activity, excluding handicapped personnel spaces, to key personnel and personnel with unusual working hours. Obviously 100 percent of the parking spaces near the building have been used for key personnel and zero for handicapped employees. Allowing .the branch and unit chiefs to park right next to the building while the handicapped have to walk a block is not fair. It appears that they think of themselves before they think of the handicapped. I don't think the handicapped should have to walk considerably further than the branch or unit chiefs, and I think they need to make handicapped parking out of some of the closer parking spaces.

The south end of the building project with only carpet replace- was a short-terment required and the north end is a long-terremodeling effort to house the 6 Management '. Directorate offices and conference facilities. LF employees occupying the temporary facility while the carpet was being replaced had to be vacated on Feb. 9. No other temporary facility was available so the group had no alternative except to move back into the south end of Bldg. 1224. While the dry wall was being installed a protective plastic sheet was also installed to keep the dust from traveling to the south end of the building. When construction of the north end of the facility is completed a cleaning crew will come in and clean the south end of the building. The inconvenience is regrettable, but this was the only solution possible. F-1- Typed address labels a question about the Ql haveadocuments note that says, "As mailing of going off Hill AFB. I little received of July 1, the new postal regulation requires that all mail going off base needs to have a typed address label. No handwritten envelopes or boxes will be allowed. Thank you, Base mail room." Why was something like this authorized? A Air Force Manual r 37-12- , Preparing Official Communications, dated Feb. 10, 1995, paragraph 6.3., How to Address the Envelope, states, ""Addresses should be typewritten or machine printed. You may not handwrite or use rubber stamps except in emergency or combat conditions." The base didn't enforce this requirement until recently. It must now be enforced because as of July 1, the U.S. Postal Service implemented a new classification reform. The reform changed the rules for receiving postal discounts. In order to receive a postal discount, all addresses must be machine readable, and handwritten address can't be read by the U.S. Postal Service's machines. So, if Hill AFB is to receive any postal discounts, we must stop handwriting addresses on mail going off base. The requirement for typed or printed addresses was announced through Group Wise on June 4, in the Ogden Air Logistics Center's Official Bulletin the first two weeks in June and the Hilltop Times for two weeks. If you have any further questions on this subject or any other mail concerns, please contact the official mail manager, Richard Schulze, Ext. Supply items should depreciate the Aircraft Directorate's Avionics we are charged a surcharge on handling the end item line replacement units and power distribution units that come up from supply to our work area at what I believe is the full value price of the item. People go out and buy a new car for $30,000 and in 1 0 years it's only worth $10,000. And I think the PURs, LURs and other like items that we get out of supply should Qln Maj. Gen. Pat Condon, Ogden Air Logistics Center commander, congratulates Betty Jessop of the Commodities Directorate on her efforts in evaluating suggestions. Commending evaluators for their professionalism and willingness is an ongoing program. A At the present time there are two handi-capped or medical parking spaces inside the fence on the east side of Bldg. 205 for employees in Bldg. 233. With the number of people presently utilizing medical parking, this appears to be adequate. The Aircraft Directorate, in conjunction with also depreciate in price unless they're brand new. Instead of paying $50,000 on a $500,000 end item, we would only pay $20,000 because it's 10 years old and only worth $200,000. This might be a way of saving money. the 75th Civil Engineering Group, is currently performing a study of the parking inside the fenced area around the flightline. As soon as the study is completed, driving andor parking will be restricted around most of the buildings inside the fence. However, we are looking at adding more spaces on the north side of Bldg. 233 and at least two of these spaces could be medical parking. For further information contact Gary Zobell, LA Alert, Ext. A You're discussing two entirely separate and ' A unrelated issues the supply surcharge and a depreciation factor. Also, there is no depreciation factor associated with supply items. It's true, when you purchase a new car it begins to depreciate almost immediately. However, when you purchase tires for that car, not only do they not depreciate, but they usually go' up in price fol- ACTION LINE is your opportunity to make Hill ; a better place to live, work and play, ' When you call Ext. or send on.

With regard to the supply surcharge philosophy there's no difference between a surcharge applied to Air Force Stock Fund (supply) items and any items you would purchase from a retail store. The Air Force tracks its surcharge separately from the actual cost of an item for evaluating and tracking supply operation (overhead) expenses. The prices you pay for any items in retail stores, from groceries to clothing, all include business overhead ex- penses built into the prices. Retail stores simply don't advertise this portion of the item's price separately; however, the Air Force does.
