To: CITY OF PALM DESERT PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM Michael Errante, Director of Public Works From: Armando Rodriguez, Engineering Manager Date: July 23, 2004 Subject: Busted Award Mike during the current resurfacing program we have had the opportunity to use Sergio Rosas from the Corporation Yard to augment our staffing. He has proved diligent, conscientious, and has demonstrated repeatedly his spirit of cooperation. He has gone above the rim to insure a quality and cooperative job, for the City of Palm Desert, while continuing a report with the contractor. In addition, our entire inspection staff, Ahmad Karimi, Mike Brown, Ed Gallardo, and Terry Cechin, have shown exemplary effort in working together as a team, keeping daily operations running smoothly, while accommodating night work performed on major arterials for the benefit of the citizens of our community. The willingness of these individuals to regularly adapt to these situations continues to keep the City of Palm Desert one head above the average. I am recommending them for a "Busted Award", as their efforts exemplify the type of employee this City is proud to have. Armando Rodriguez, P.E.

NominatingEmployeenc s o J. Urbina, ina Associate Planner Reason for nominating employee: HIGHLY EXCEPTIONAL AND VERY PROMPT CUSTOMER SERVICE TURN- AROUND TIME ON REVIEW OF A PRELIMINARY GRADING PLAN FOR A PROPOSED PROJECT On June 29, 20041 transmitted to Phil Joy a preliminary grading plan for the Sacred Heart Church and School expansion Master Plan (CUP 04-13) for Public Works Department review and comment. I was pleasantly surprised when later the same day Phil Joy came to my office and told me that he had completed his review of the preliminary grading plan and delivered a memorandum with comments. I did not expect such a quick turn -around from Public Works Department staff since I know that department has a large caseload. Normally Planning staff gives other departments one to two weeks time to review plans since every Development Services Division department is very busy handling many cases and answering telephone and counter inquiries. Phil Joy's prompt review of the Sacred Heart Master Plan preliminary grading plan is an example of exemplary customer service above and beyond the call of normal duty. I faxed the Public Works memorandum on the preliminary grading plan to the project architect and was later told by Holt Architects that Father Lincoln at the Sacred Heart Church will truly appreciate the City's quick review of the Urbina, Francisco From: thowell@holtarchitects.net Sent: Wednesday, June 30, 2004 10:38 AM To: Urbina, Francisco Subject: Sacred Heart Master Plan - Public Works Memorandum Francisco: Please thank Phil Joy on behalf of Father Lincoln. and Holt Architects for his prompt attention_.

These records were in file storage boxes in the Public Works storage area, and when staff needed to retrieve records they had to move and/or dig through multiple boxes. Over the past 12 months, in addition to her regularly scheduled work, Marisol has diligently prepared and indexed over 36,000 records to be scanned to CD's. As a result of Marisol's perseverance and hard work, the City has realized the following benefits: • Records can be accessed on computer for ease of reference. • Records are in a safe, permanent form and will not be lost in the event of a disaster. • Records are no longer taking up storage space. • A records management system has been implemented to continue digitizing these permanent and sensitive records.
