On behalf of the City Council and Staff, please join me in honoring our two employees of the month for July---TERESA DUTCHER and LAURIE BUBAR.

Teresa is our Human Resource Officer and has been with the City since 2001 where she started her career here as the secretary for the City Manager and Assistant City Manager.

Laurie is our Payroll Clerk and has been with us since 2007 when she began her career with the City as a cashier.

Both ladies have been promoted several times—not surprisingly.

These co-employees of the month work together on extremely complicated tasks and critical duties to ensure employees are taken care of with all things related to their paychecks, benefits, and insurance coverages. They often have to “go to bat” for fellow employees to be sure our teammates are being treated fairly by big health insurance companies and retirement systems. This is no easy task and at times they seem like warriors riding out to battle to slay dragons for their team!

Lately their jobs have been particularly complicated and stressful with several concurrent recruitments and retirements loaded on top of the already busy summer employment season.

They are doing an amazing job handling this extra work and stress and we want to be sure they know how much they are appreciated! Thank you Teresa and Laurie for your dedication and tireless hard work!
