responsibility shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, the following:
1. Adequate and timely operation of each facility’s heating system.
2. Proper care of the District’s physical properties, including walls, floors, roofs, ceilings and equipment in
those facilities.
3. Adequate care of and timely lamp replacement in each facility’s lighting system.

regular hours.
