EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to recognize Susan Usher, Senior Budget Analyst, Office
of Management and Budget, as Employee of the Month for August 2008.
OBJECTIVE: To obtain approval from the Board of County Commissioners to recognize
Susan Usher, Senior Budget Analyst, Office of Management and Budget, as Employee
of the Month for August 2008.
CONSIDERATIONS: Susan Usher, Senior Budget Analyst, has been nominated as the
"Employee of the Month" for August 2008. Susan's dedication to efficiency, integrity and
customer service are evident in the high quality of work she produces. She is never too
busy to assist on a project and she frequently serves as mentor to other employees.
Susan is the key representative from the County Manager's Agency on many of the
financial and informational systems changes implemented by the organization. As such,
she works tirelessly to insure that all transitions are as smooth and seamless as
possible. She has taken an integral role for the County Manager's Agency representing
the Office of Management and Budget for SAP implementation and upgrade activities,
as well as spearheaded the implementation and pending upgrade of the GovMax budget
application. These projects, in addition to her regular job duties, often require countless
hours of work beyond the typical day. In addition to the immense time that Susan
devotes to the County, she also serves the community as a volunteer for several
organizations, including the Boy Scouts of America and Odyssey of the Mind. Susan is
a true public servant, dedicating her time and resources to the benefit of the employees
and citizens of Collier County. She is truly deserving of this 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 Susan Usher as "Employee of the Month" for August 2008.
