On Wednesday October 6^th, several City Employees received service awards by City Manager Chris Melville.  They included:  Detective Sergeant Mike Connin (25 years), Public Works Compost Operator Ernesto Espitia (20 years), Public Works Tech 2 Osbaldo Rodriguez (5 years), Part Time Firefighter Waylan Nelson (5 years) and Accounting Tech Maria Hernandez (5 years).

I do enjoy providing employees with their years of service awards as it is always just that extra appreciation provided to show them the dedication they give to the city is important and recognized.  These individuals work each day to serve the public whether in law enforcement, public safety, public works or administration.  They are very valuable assets to the organization.

In addition to their plaques, each employee received a service pin which is designed with the City Seal.  The pins reflect the employee’s service with a star for every five years they serve.  And finally, they all received a $25 Smith’s Food Store Gift Card.

Congratulations to each of you, a job well done.
