16.F.1
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to recognize Jennifer Smith, Public Utilities, Technical Support Operations as the
October 2020 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: Jennifer is a Senior Programmer Analyst and has been with the County since
2018.
Jennifer stepped up to the plate accepting the day-to-day responsibilities left by a vacant managerial
position while that position was being filled. As a dedicated team member committed to the success of
the Enterprise Asset Management & Geographic Information Systems sections, she did not let anything
fall through the cracks. Even with the added complications during the early coronavirus work -from -home
transitions, she diligently met the demands required to keep the division moving forward.
She provided orientation for a new employee and she oversaw the contract renewal for Citiworks, one of
the agency's most significant software programs. Jennifer maintained continuity for the division over
several months and was relied on as the point person for key initiatives, all of which were successfully
completed. Of particular note, she ushered in the ability for the Public Utility Department's inventory
team to automatically track inventory with a new barcode scanning system.
Jennifer is a true professional, devoted to accomplishing the mission of the agency wherever her many
talents can serve. We are very proud to award her 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.
