body
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
Council approved Ordinance 2021-O-2014 on January 19, 2021 establishing a program that would recognize employees who significantly benefited their respective departments and made contributions beyond the usual expectation of their employment.
BACKGROUND
The purpose of the Employee of the Quarter and Employee of the Year Program is to provide an incentive to employees to enhance the quality of customer service and to serve as a mechanism for recognizing those employees. A selection committee identified by a randomizer was tasked with reviewing nominations and selecting the honorees for each quarter.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
A total of 12 employees were recognized in 2021 and 2022. In 2023, the HR Department had a difficult time getting nominations and enough directors to be on the “selection committee” to review the nominations and the program came to standstill.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
recommendation
Repeal Ordinance 2021-O-2014 and replace it was a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to approve and fund City of Laredo “Project Excellence!”
