PRESENTATION OF SPECIAL RECOGNITIONS AND AWARDS
RECOGNITION OF TWO EMPLOYEE SUGGESTION WINNERS
1. Martha Lambert of the Tax Assessor's Office was acknowledged for her suggestion
relating to bond documents. She suggested that a computer program be written wherein all data
would be duplicated from the tax bill onto the bond document. This would eliminate the employee
having to complete the form by hand. Lambert was accompanied by her supervisor, Brent Weisner.
She was given a plaque and $150.
2. David Lambert of the Solid Waste Office was recognized for his suggestion about
replacement liners for the waste balers. Lambert's suggestion was to contract with a local machine
shop for the manufacture of baler (liner) replacement parts. The county could possibly save
$16,549 per year. The county manager said maintenance costs had increased significantly during
the past few years. A plaque and check in the amount of $500 were given to Lambert.
