• • EMPLOYEE OF THE QUARTER March, April, May 1985 Debra Wilmore of the Code Enforcement Division has been employed by the City as a full time employee since February 1985. Debra was employed to enforce the City's junk vehicle ordinance, and she developed the entire program and procedures for tagging, notifying, removing, storing, and auctioning of vehicles falling within the parameters of the junk vehicle ordinance. Debra has utilized the City's computer by designing and implementing various legal forms and filing. This has saved an estimated five manhours per week. Some of the forms devised by Debra are now used state-wide by other cities that have started junk vehicle programs. During her tenure in this position, Debbie had some 300 vehicles removed, with no valid complaints. To enforce an ordinance of this nature without complaints indicates that her skills and motivation are well above the norm. In October of 198+, Debra was promoted to Building Inspector Trainee. She has completed the following: passage of the Standard Code Building Inspector Certification Exam; passage of the State Plumbing Inspector License Exam; completion of the A&M 160 hour Municipal Inspector Training Program; and extensive on-the-job training, including weekly written exams. This training is required by Debra's training schedule, but is exceptional in that these requirements were completed in only six months, instead of the one year allowed. Debra consistently produces well above the average work required of an employee. She has a perfect safety record. Debra's suggestions of time saving or procedural changes are well thought out and presented in a positive way. She has devoted many hours of her own time to make herself a skilled and knowledgeable employee. We are proud to have Debra Wilmore as the Employee of the Quarter for March, April and May, 1985.
