Lighting issue pointed out to Deborah before leaving and she said she would address. We also found a storage room door unlocked and unable to be locked (the latch/bolt on the door was taped over not allowing engagement of the lock). Deborah immediately went to storage room, removed tape and locked the room. She said she would discuss this with staff. This Document is PUBLIC RECORD.
