MEMORANDUM <br />February 13, 1990 <br />TO: Division Managers <br />FROM: Sandra Gleason <br />SUBJECT: Public Works Day Awards <br />Here is the information you asked for about the Public Works Day employee <br />awards. The process we used last year to select employees was as follows: <br />supervisors in each division collected nominations from their work groups; <br />during division staff meetings, the top two names of individuals or work <br />sections were selected; the division manager brought those names to the <br />departm ent management team for selection. This year, we agreed to nominate <br />a selection committee comprised of Terry, Darcy, and Sandra to undertake the <br />initial review of the nominations and to bring their recommendations to the <br />management group. <br />The following are the criteria we used to select last year's award recipi- <br />ents: <br />Special Service Award These awards recognize people who worked on special <br />projects that saved dollars, generated additional revenue, or had a positive <br />impact on the department or city. Depending on the type of project, the <br />award could be given to an individual or to a group. Individuals receive <br />their own plaque. If awarded to a group, then each person's name is placed <br />on the plaque, and each member receives an "Award of Excellence" pin. <br />Life Saving This award is only given for true life saving situations. <br />Thirty Year Awarded to those individuals who are celebrating their 30th <br />year with the City at the time of the event. Administration will review <br />personnel records to identify 30 -year anniversaries. <br />Productivity Award Awarded for service delivery improvements, such as going <br />beyond the call of duty to deliver a service to the public or for showing <br />extraordinary initiative in delivering a service. <br />Since it will take six to eight weeks to have the awards produced, we will <br />need to meet the following timeline. <br />Names from division managers to selection committee: March 16 <br />be sure to include a short description of why you are <br />nominating an individual or group and any other <br />important facts. <br />Selection committee recommendations to division managers March 21 <br />To production <br />April 2 <br />If you have questions, please call me. <br />
