COUNTY PRESENTATION OF SPECIAL RECOGNITIONS
RECOGNITION OF MR JEAN HESSE, A RETIREE OF THE INSPECTIONS
DEPARTMENT: Lynn Niblock, the Inspections Director, said Mr. Hesse was a "true -public
servant." Niblock said Hesse's many years of experience would be missed. Chairman Haire
presented a plaque to Mr. Hesse and wished him health and happiness in his retirement.
RECOGNITION OF COUNTY EMPLOYEE SUGGESTION AWARD WINNERS:
1. Jean Jackson, of the Social Services Department, submitted a suggestion that Don Wall,
the DSS Director, said would save employee time and office space. The idea suggested by Jackson
was to keypunch office forms into computers rather than storing them in the supply room.
Employees will be able to access the forms on their computers.
2. Phyllis Dalton and Margaret Griffin, of the Assessor's Office, submitted an idea that
will lessen the number of employee entries on tax cards. Dalton and Griffin realized that data being
entered could be used in other areas of the card. The benefit in this suggestion will be that the cards
will be more uniform and will be available to the public faster.
