Agenda 06/12/2018 Item # 3D106/12/2018
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to recognize Wendy Klopf, Operations Coordinator, Community and Human
Services Division as the May 2018 Employee of the Month.
OBJECTIVE: To recognize the efforts and accomplishments of an employee who has made significa nt
contributions to the organization or to our community.
CONSIDERATIONS: Wendy Klopf has been with Community & Human Services since 2001, and
works in the Grants Compliance section of the division. For over 2 years Wendy has been working to
complete a detailed review of over 5,000 properties under various loan and grant programs going back to
1995. She has reviewed each property for homestead compliance and analyzed the status of each non-
compliant property, contacting property owners where appropriate to recapture funds. Her efforts have
already yielded positive compliance results and a substantial amount being returned to the county.
Wendy’s work also led to the development of a new Lien Compliance Policy adopted by the Board in
March. This policy updates and expands a mechanism to ensure liens remain in compliance with county
and program regulations, and will ultimately lead to significant savings in staff time; more funds being
returned to the county; and the expansion of the housing affordability goals of the county.
Wendy’s extra effort with this project is just one reason why she is so worthy of this recognition.
FISCAL IMPACT: The selected “Employee of the Month” receives a $150.00 cash award. Funds for
this are available in the employee's budget cost center.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There are no Growth Management Impacts associated with
this Executive Summary.
RECOMMENDATION: To approve the recognition of Wendy Klopf as the May 2018 Employee of the
Month.
