Tank is a Senior Equipment Operator who has volunteered to step in and supervise the new trash and dead animal pick-up operations within the Department. The County has recently moved from using Detail Crews to a third-party staffing firm to supply the manpower required to maintain the unincorporated County’s right-of-way. Tank whose normal duties are on the Department’s paving crew has done a great job working alongside these new workers setting the high expectations that are required to keep the County looking beautiful.

EJ has joined the Road Department temporarily during the current movie industry work stoppage. We are recognizing EJ because he has been able to fill the Department’s current tractor operator shortage by showing the skill to operate a tractor daily. Congratulations to Tank and EJ!
Congratulations Tank and EJ.
