AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY

ITEM SUMMARY:

Recognize Daniel Cowles, Firefighter with the Fire Department, as the November 2014 "Strongest Link" award recipient. Fire Chief, Tommy Jones will address. No action required

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS OR CONCERNS:

The “Strongest Link” Award is given monthly to a deserving employee who has demonstrated excellent performance and productivity, loyalty, professional pride, and other noteworthy accomplishments. The award recognizes that all City employees link together to form a chain that provides the residents of the City with excellent service. That service is only as strong as its weakest link in the chain. Therefore, all employees should strive to be a “strong link” in the chain. Nominations are received from any City employee and are vetted by Department Directors who recommend the award recipient to the City Manager. The recognized employee receives one day off with pay, a gift certificate from a local restaurant, a “Strongest Link” plaque, and the symbolic “chain”, which he will be the custodian of until a subsequent employee is recognized.
