Agenda 09/28/2021 Item #16F 1 (Recognizing Employee of the Month - Jared Del Re)09/28/2021
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to recognize Jared Del Re, Public Services Department, Library Division as the
August 2021 Employee of the Month.
OBJECTIVE: To recognize the efforts and accomplishments of an employee who has made significant
contributions to the organization and to our community.
CONSIDERATIONS: Jared is an Applications Analyst in the Library Division in Public Services and
has been with the County since 2014.
In early 2021, Jared completed the Division-wide installation and implementation of the new copy, print,
scan, and fax equipment and software platforms. As the Library’s dedicated Application Analyst, Jared
showed exceptional work ethic in the coordination and execution of this installation project often working
during weekends and hours beyond his regular workweek.
Jared demonstrated outstanding leadership and technical expertise as he worked with the County’s
Information Technology Division to quickly resolve a network issue that could have stalled the entire
installation project, potentially delaying the roll-out of the new equipment for months. His quick thinking,
advocacy for ensuring continuity of service to the public, and strong teamwork with the IT Division
allowed Jared to acquire and successfully relocate the public server to the Headquarters Library adverting
a potentially detrimental and prolonged delay in the installation project. Jared recognized a flaw in the
software set-up, so he reached out to the vendor for a solution and was told he was asking for the
impossible and there was no solution. Jared was undeterred and demonstrated his technical expertise and
dedication, he rewrote the back-end code for the software while working within the confines of the tight
ten-day implementation window. Jared also imaged 58 new public computers for deployment in
conjunction with the software platform installation.
Jared’s accomplishment of the implementation as well as his diligence, knowledge, collaborative spirit,
and dedication to duty are just several reasons why he is so deserving of the Employee of the Month
award.
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.
