Agenda 06/24/2014 Item # 5A6/24/2014 5.A.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to recognize John Houldsworth, Senior Site Plans Reviewer, Engineering
Services Department as the Employee of the Month for May 2014.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the Employee of the Month program is to recognize the efforts
and accomplishments of employees who have made significant contributions to the organization
and to our community.
CONSIDERATIONS: John Houldsworth, Senior Site Plans Reviewer, Growth Management
Division has been nominated as the "Employee of the Month" for May 2014. He has been an
employee of the County for 25 years.
John's primary responsibility as a Senior Site Plans Reviewer is to review all applications which
subdivide land for the Engineering Department.
John exhibits exemplary customer service; he leads by example and is the first to step up to an
assignment or new initiative. This leadership was recently highlighted when the Growth
Management Division established a new policy to reduce plan review times. John took an early
lead role in the process and through his efforts generated an overall reduction in plan review times
for his team. He was instrumental in updating the Land Development Code and in creating the
Administrative Code for Land Development which took over a year to develop, updating outdated
code provisions, reviewing and editing the working drafts in the process.
John's dedication to the County is observable in his daily work, his years of experience and "can
do" attitude and his continuous efforts to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of his
department make him truly 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 is no growth management impact associated with
this Executive Summary.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners approves the recognition of
John Houldsworth as "Employee of the Month" for May 2014.
