CMC Trail Maintenance Hours Worked

Help Area

Event Date: - For format use mm/dd/yy.

Crew or General Name: - Select one from drop down menu.

Crew Leader, Section Maintainer or Reporting Person's name - last name & first, no initials

Purpose of Work Event: (Why was trip scheduled) - Can select one or two reasons only. When selecting two, select the first then hold control key down and select the second reason. In many cases a single general item will be selected, however, if the mission is primarily Downed Tree(s) Removal or WeedEating those items may be selected.

Section # and Name: This a long drop down list from which you select one entry. The order of the list is MST (running from West to East) followed by the AT (running South to North). These are followed by the other trails in alphabetical order. If a trail is not found notify the CMC. IF MULTIPLE SECTIONS ARE COVERED YOU MUST MAKE MULTIPLE EVENT ENTRIES.

People's names: - Provide last (without initials) and first names (without initials) alphabetically by last name.

Suggestion for entering names: Take all the names and put them into a master list in a text file, last name first. Temporarily delete the names of those that did not go on your specific trip. Copy and paste the remaining list into the Peoples Name section of the report form. A very long list may overflow the border of the box so that you will have to scroll to see all the names. The master list will revert to the original when you close it on Do Not Save. Another method is if you have a pretty good idea of those that will show up almost all the time and those that hardly ever show up. This way, you can have two master lists. There could be other variations to achieve the same result.

Hours Worked & Traveled:

The hours worked is the time spent on the work site (Trail Head to Trail Head). Everything else is travel time. Travel time consists of two components: 1. The time from home to the meeting place and back home (In most cases use an average for all). 2. The time from the meeting place to the Trail Head and back (The time depends on location). These two should be added together for entry into the system. (Round to nearest whole number) (For section maintainers the travel time is to the trail head and back home and the work is from Trail Head to Trail Head, i.e., only one travel time to enter) Since total hours are requested for travel and work, multiply the number of people by the hours traveled and worked. This is the recommended procedure and should be all that is needed for most cases; however, the system does have a field for differentiating between work times and travel times which the person reporting can use if they want to differentiate between individuals. There is one more field (Individual People Hours Worked...........) to be entered. There is no fixed format but it should show by name those individuals who had fewer or more work or drive hours. For example, Jane Doe plus 1 drive hr & John Smith minus 2 work hr. These would be reflected in the total work and drive hours. Assume we had a total of 10 people and the work and drive hours for most were 5 and 1 respectively but Jane and John above had the different hours. The calculation would be: 10 X 5 - 2 = 48 for Total Worked Hours and 10 X 1 + 1 = 11 for Total Travel Hours.

Administrative hours are off trail hours spent on maintenance activities.

If multiple sections are being reported, account for representative hours in each section.

What did you do: This will be reported in the E-news so use correct spelling ,grammar, punctuation, wording, etc. Use complete sentences.

Issue Numbers Completed: It reflects the open trail issues in the database that can be closed because of the work issues that have been completed. We should assume that the leader knows the issues, if any, relating to the work to be done that day.
