Councilors celebrated employee longevity at the June 3rd meeting.
Ron Linn celebrated five years of service and began his city career as a summer intern. He is now a full-time permitting clerk and has earned his Bachelor of Science degree.
Jose Duran has served as the City’s Director of Information Technology during the five years he has been with the city. Although City Manager Michael McNees did not intend to embarrass him while his family stood proudly by his side, McNees recalled a story about Duran’s job commitment. During Hurricane Ian, Duran braved the strong hurricane-force winds and evaluated the condition of the satellite connections on the roof of the building housing the city’s emergency operation center, therefore ensuring the city staff stayed connected during the storm with the outside world.
Police Officer George Guyer celebrated twenty years of service to the city. He presently serves as a School Resource Officer assigned to Tommie Barfield Elementary School. Guyer is also a bicycle officer, can be seen pedaling throughout the business community, and is well known amongst many business owners and residents.
Betty Larson was the last called to the dais. Larson, who works within the city’s building department, has served in a number of capacities within the city’s organizational staff over the twenty-five years she has been employed with the city. Raul Perez, Chief Building Official for the city, said, “Our city and the world need more Betty Larsons.”
