EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to recognize Russell Greer, Laboratory Technician, Water
Department, as Employee of the Month for August 2009.
OBJECTIVE: To recognize Russell Greer, Laboratory Technician, Water Department, as
Employee of the Month for August 2009.
CONSIDERATIONS: Russell Greer, Laboratory Technician, has been nominated as the
"Employee of the Month" for August 2009. Russ has been an employee of the County for over
20 years. He is an instrumental team member in the Water Laboratory at the North County
Regional Water Treatment Plant.
Russ brings a great attitude to work every day. He approaches every task with a "can do"
attitude. He is proactive, completes tasks ahead of schedule and always volunteers to take on
extra work or special assignments. Over the years the water laboratory has often been short
staffed. Russ not only steps up to take on the additional workload, he also continues to perform
his own job duties with excellence and dedication. Earlier this year Russ volunteered for a very
important task. Due to an increase in the number of consumers, the water laboratory needed to
perform additional compliance monitoring. This required 30 new sampling points to be added to
the 120 points already sampled on a monthly basis throughout the water distribution system.
Russ plotted out potential sites, scouted them for feasibility and accessibility and drafted a
document with locations and directions. These new sites have been added to the monthly route
with great success thanks to his efforts. This is just one of the many examples where Russ has
gone above and beyond.
Russ is knowledgeable and always willing to learn beyond what is expected of his position. His
professionalism, reliability and devotion make him an asset to the Water Department and the
County. He is truly deserving of this award.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item presents no legal issues. - JAK
FISCAL IMPACT: The selected "Employee of the Month" receives a $150.00 cash award.

Russell Greer as "Employee of the Month" for August 2009.
