Agenda 09/25/2018 Item #3D09/25/2018
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to recognize Katie Sibert, Human Resources Technician, Administrative Services
Department as the August 2018 Employee of the Month.
OBJECTIVE: To recognize the efforts and accomplishments of an employee who has made significant
contributions to the organization or to our community.
CONSIDERATIONS: Katie has been with Collier County since 2013 and works in the Human
Resources division.
Katie was instrumental in coordinating site inspections required by FEMA to capture Hurricane Irma
related damages. She undertook an enormous responsibility having to synchronize the site visits with
representatives from FEMA, Collier County, and CDR Maguire, the disaster recovery consulting service,
while she continued to perform her regular job duties as the Customer Service Specialist in Human
Resources. Katie’s part in this operation was a great undertaking and she performed this task with the
utmost professionalism. Having one person organize the task with many different agencies and people
was nothing short of heroic. Because of her tireless efforts, Collier County and FEMA completed all pre-
site and on-site visits of damaged infrastructure sustained from the impact of a Category 4 Hurricane
within nine months following landfall.
A mere thank-you does not begin to express the appreciation FEMA, CDR Maguire, and the Collier
County teams have for Katie. She moved mountains to make sure the inspection teams were
accommodated, while making each County department a priority. Katie’s determination and endless
ability to find ways to schedule these inspections, while coordinating all parties involved demonstrates
how very deserving she is of the Employee of the Month award.
FISCAL IMPACT: The selected “Employee of the Month” receives a $150 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 Katie Sibert as the August 2018 Employee of the
Month.
