Penewitt "Employee of the Quarter" 07 thru 09, 1991. SUBJECT: Kelly joined the City in January of 1990. During her twenty-one (21) months of employment she has made significant positive impacts on the recreational and leisure services offered our citizenry. Kelly has proven an excellent/multi-talented employee during her tenure. She was hired as the Fairmont Recreation Center Supervisor, but has been the driving force behind the implementation of our waterfront and watersafety programs. She has obtained six (6) certifications in the areas of aquatics and recreation services that were not prescribed as terms of her employment. She has completed these time/skill intensive courses at the top of her classes. Much of the time and some of her registration fees were covered out of her own resources. Kelly is a dedicated professional, who over and above her job responsibilities has taken the initiative to implement our new lifeguard certification programs, waterfront programs and a junior lifeguard program as well as the development of comprehensive operations and safety manuals for both our aquatics division and recreation division. In September of this year, Kelly was promoted to the position of Aquatics/Special Events Coordinator. Aside from the many demands of her new position, Kelly has continued to manage the Fairmont Center operation. I am extremely proud of Kelly and consider it an honor and privilege to have such a bright and dedicated employee on our "team". It is with much confidence that I recommend Kelly J. penewitt for recognition as "Employee of the Quarter" ,for the period of July thru September 1991. Thank you for your time and consideration of this nomination. If I may be of any further service to your committee in regards to this matter, please contact me at your nearest convenience. xc: Kelly Penewitt, Aquatics/Special Events Coordinator Stan Sherwood, Director of P.A.R.D.
