For my second observation I sat in on a metting between PCS own Bruce, Cindy, and Lucy who is the the head of the city of Boca Raton's traffic and saftey board. The meeting was scheduled so that Lucy could give PCS an update as to how far along they are on their job in Boca. The meetign started off with Lucy explaining how good of a job the field workers for PCS have been doing and how far ahead of schedule they are. She stated " your workers have been working very diligently and are almost two months ahead of schedule." Very pleased to hear this Cindy replied with a thank you very much, and we dont expect anything less.

As the meeting went on Lucy began to explain how well the PCS workers were working with the city of Boca's workers and how also their safety procedures are spot on. The safety procedures are things such as using cones to block off a lane of traffic possibly, and wearing reflector vests when on the side of the road and things like that. The particurally short meeting went very well for Bruce and Cindy and afterwards they offered me lunch, and some time for me to ask them some questions.

When we got to quarterdeck I began with the question "How hard is it to run this big of a company? and how can you balance running it with running your families as well?" Cindy was the first to reply and she just simply said, "its easy to run a company when everyone inside it is as trustworthy as the next." I asked her hwat she ment by that and she said she ment that before they hire anyone they do many backround checks in order to see if they will be trustworthy enough to work for them. Bruce followed up the second part of my question by sayin that " my family is the biggest part of my life and like Cindy said, its easy to give the work to my assistant when i know she is just as capable as I am to take care of most of the work. Its tough having to be at work all the time but the time I spend with my family is always going to be more important to me."
