EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to recognize Rheannon Ketover, Chemist, Growth Management Department as
the January Employee of the Month 2016.
OBJECTIVE: To recognize the efforts and accomplishments of an employee who has made significant
contributions to the organization or to our community.
CONSIDERATIONS: Rheannon Ketover, Chemist,Pollution Control has been with the County
since 2012 and works for the Growth Management Department.
Rheannon is always bringing new ideas to her division; she recently suggested a new method to reduce
waste and increase reuse of glass vials used for field samples. Historically, these vials were disposed of
after a single use,but Rheannon was able to analyze the current process and suggest a new method to clean,
sanitize and reuse the vials. Her vision for a greener lab and her effort in performing the necessary testing
will save the Pollution Control Lab several thousand dollars per year. She has now taken on the challenge
of reviewing all of the lab's consumable/material usage.
In addition to her focus on cost savings and reuse, Rheannon is very mindful of the environment and strives
to make a difference both in her life and in her career. She exemplifies the characteristics of a model
employee shown by her passion, drive, willingness and desire to serve her community and the
organization and is very deserving of the Employee of the Month 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 are no Growth Management Impacts associated with
this Executive Summary.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners approves the recognition of
Rheannon Ketover as Employee of the Month for January 2016
