CITY OF LA PORTE INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM T0: "EMPLOYEE OF THE QUARTER" COMMITTEE FROM: ORVILLE BURGESS, STREET SUPERINTENDENT DATE: December 7, 1989 SUBJECT: NOMINATION OF CARLOS VEGA Carlos Vega is an Equipment Operator I on our Drainage Reconstruction crew. He has always been one of our most dependable employees and always accepted any assignment without hesitation or complaint. Never has this been more evident than during his past evaluation period. Carlos was given the added responsibility of setting up the work site for his crew each day. This includes taking all necessary safety precautions for the crew and routing traffic through the work zone. More importantly, he accepted the most critical aspect of the drainage reconstruction work. This is taking the drainage profiles and design sheets provided by the Engineering Department and insuring that our laser is set on the recommended grades for maximum efficiency. Carlos has no trouble making decisions in the field when his supervisor is unavailable. This entails changing recommended grades and resetting pipe when actual field conditions differ from the expected in house design. This results in elimination of down time and insures projects are completed on a timely basis. Carlos always informs his supervisor of his decisions and they have all proven to be sound and cost effective. Carlos then makes notations of the changes he made to turn into Engineering for their files. In addition, Carlos is a very capable welder who is in big demand from other departments due to the absence of a funded welder position. He can weld and fabricate anything and does an excellent job on this as well. Carlos is the type of employee who takes pride in any assignment and never complains, the type who makes my job easier and the type we all try to recruit. It is with great pride I recommend Carlos Vega for your consideration as "EMPLOYEE OF THE QUARTER." /ob
