L' i • Minutes, Joint Public Hearing and Regular Meeting La Porte City Council, March 3, 1982 Page 2 Hodge: Some time back the Council requested that some type of recognition program be set up to recognize outstanding employees. The Public Works Department got together some criteria and started looking at our employees. We have selected as "Employee of the Month" from the Public Works Department, Josue Jiminez. He is employed in the garage division and was selected primarily because he is a very conscientious worker. He has a very good attitude and lays out his work real well; goes beyond. the call of duty. He works through his breaks when necessary to see that cars are properly maintained and serviced. I would ask Josue to come up and we would like for you, Mayor, to present him with this certificate.
