Agenda 07/08/2014 Item # 5A7/8/2014 5.A.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to recognize Connie Deane, Public Information Coordinator Growth
Management Division as the Employee of the Month for June 2014.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the Employee of the Month program is to recognize the efforts
and accomplishments of employees who have made significant contributions to the organization
and to our community.
CONSIDERATIONS: Connie Deane, Public Information Coordinator, Growth Management
Division has been nominated as the "Employee of the Month" for June 2014. She has been an
employee of the County for 14 years.
Connie wears many hats in GMD; not only does she serve as the PIO, she serves as Community
Liaison and handles public relations for the entire division. She takes the lead role in public
information meetings, workshops, groundbreakings and dedication events. Connie is up to speed
and well informed on all current projects in the division as she often is called upon to be the media
spokesperson by local TV stations on "hot button" issues.
Connie was tasked last summer with the additional duty of overseeing the ATV Park Ad Hoc
Committee. There is no project manager assigned to the project so Connie has assumed many of
the project manager functions, including planning visits to proposed sites, creating executive
summaries, recruiting committee members and providing website updates. She was also very
involved with the Coastal Zone Management team during the recent beach renourishment project.
The word "no" is not in Connie's vocabulary. She is always eager to help and is a trusted and
valuable team member who has earned not only the respect of her co- workers, but from many
across the agency and in the community, making her truly 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 is no growth management impact associated with
this Executive Summary.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners approves the recognition of
Connie Deane as "Employee of the Month" for June 2014.
