Mayor
Robert A. Spiegel
Meritorious Service — Above and Beyond.
Mayor Spiegel received an e-mail from Rob
Ballew, CEO of the YMCA of the Desert, in
appreciation for the prompt action taken by Jay
Niemczak in resolving his concern. Mr. Ballew
contacted Jay with a concern that motorists
were using a small sidewalk in front of the
YMCA that is used by children and adults. Jay
responded quickly to this concern by having
two poles installed to block vehicles from using
the sidewalk and possibly injuring a pedestrian.
Mr. Ballew noted, "I appreciate Jay's response
to this issue along with the way he takes such
great care of our park."
Jay is to be commended for his outstanding
customer service and effective resolution of this
concern expressed by the YMCA.
