EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to recognize Geoffrey Swets, Paramedic/Firefighter Company Officer,
Administrative Services Department as the March Employee of the Month 2016
OBJECTIVE: To recognize the efforts and accomplishments of an employee who has made significant
contributions to the organization or to our community.
CONSIDERATIONS: Geoffrey Swets, Paramedic/Firefighter, Company Officer has been with the
County since 2007 and works for the EMS Operations Division.
Geoff has been assigned a large project that includes taking on responsibility for dispatch procedures and
computer aided dispatch upgrade. He has worked closely with Collier County Sheriffs Office to ensure
that EMS is prepared for the switch to the new program. He has also been in charge of arranging
installation of a new system called Locution which is a station alerting system to alert the ambulance
crews when a call has been received. The program sends out warning tones, strobe lights within the
station and red lights to awaken crews at night. Geoff has worked tirelessly with the Sheriffs Office,
Communications International and Locution to get this installed in every station. Geoff has spent many
off duty hours to get this project completed. His dedication and commitment to this project in addition to
his regular responsibilities as a Paramedic/Firefighter make him very deserving of the Employee of the
Month award.
FISCAL IMPACT: The selected "Employee of the Month" receives a $150.00 cash award. Funds are
available in the employee's Budget Cost Center.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There are no Growth Management Impacts associated with
this Executive Summary.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners approves the recognition of
Geoffrey Swets as Employee of the Month for March 2016.
