Clean N’ Green Carwash Service MEMORANDUM Date: January 6, 2013 To: Bryan Brauer, Chief Executive Officer From: Carissa Porreca, Chief Marketing Manager Subject: Feasibility of Internal Surveillance or a Night Manager

The plan for installing surveillance cameras within the establishment or hiring a night manager are both workable tasks and could be in full effect by March 1. This report will acknowledge the background, benefits, problems, costs, and time frame involved in implementing this plan.


 * Background: Current Disrespect for Carwash Hours.** We have been allowing part time employees to maintain and close our company at the conclusion of each day. It has come to my attention that many employees have been taking advantage of this luxury by closing early and leaving without administrative permission. We hired an outside consultant who suggested either the use of cameras in the workplace or night managers to maintain the employees.


 * Benefits of Plan: Appropriate Use of Work Time.** The proposed plan calls for the use of surveillance cameras in all areas throughout the establishment. By keeping an eye on the productivity of our employees, we will be able to get a better understand of who is taking work seriously and who is taking advantage of the company. By hiring a night manager, we will have another administrative voice when it comes to opinions about how our business is ran and I think all suggestions are helpful. We will be able to keep track of punctuality, payments, the use of electronic devices while on the job, and have eyes in the store when no one is around.


 * Employee Acceptance.** One of the biggest hurdles we will have to overcome is how the employees would handle this change. Our employees will need to accept this new policy without looking at it as an invasion of privacy or lack of trust. This is simply a way to improve the company and maintain our business. Our consultant will aid us in the execution of this news to the staff and assist us with however we decide to handle this situation.


 * Costs.** Implementing the surveillance cameras will require two direct costs. The cost of the equipment, which varies from $50-100 each as well as the installation fee, which is charged at $25 per hour. Similarly, the hourly rate of a night manager would be roughly around $11 per hour, 6 hours per day.


 * Time Frame.** Selecting the appropriate cameras would take about a week to execute and hiring an appropriate night manager can take anywhere from one to three months based on our qualifications.

Please let me know by January 28 whether you would like additional information about surveillance cameras or the night manager position.
