Greetings David,
Can you believe how quickly time flies when you're having fun serving industries across Arizona and California? It's like we blinked, and the holiday season is almost upon us! From the Fourth of July to National Ice Cream Day celebrations in all six offices, we have had our fair share of fun these past few months. Summer, as always, signaled the arrival of bright, new interns who brought fresh energy and perspectives to our teams. It gives us immense pleasure to share that Zoie Nunez, who initially joined us as an intern with our Upland team, decided to extend her stay. Our commitment to nurturing talent has never been stronger.
We hosted a backyard BBQ at the APWA Statewide Conference for our fellow attendees with games and frisbees. Our dedication to making a positive impact on the community was evident in our annual Back to School Drive where we donated six boxes overfilled with supplies for a local Arizona charity, Backpacks 4 Kids. In other significant news, we are thrilled to announce the relocation of our company headquarters. We have not strayed from our Monrovia roots but rather embraced a more spacious, modern office space that embodies our commitment to progress. The future looks bright from our new vantage point. Our marketing team's outstanding performance was acknowledged with the Gold Award for Internal Communications at the SMPS Phelix Awards. This recognition is a testament to our unwavering commitment to excellence in all that we do.
It brings me immense pleasure to recognize our remarkable staff and their milestones within our firm. First, we celebrated Sara Canche's extraordinary 30th work anniversary with us. From the early days of her career which included drafting, permitting acquisitions, and compliance to her recent work with the City of Beverly Hills Water Resources Department, her contributions are invaluable to Civiltec. Then we observed Jenny Tsan's impressive 15th work anniversary, a testament to her unwavering dedication and expertise in designing quality projects. Next, we honor both Jesse Tilman and Shari Mateus for their 5-year work anniversaries. Jesse is an active member of our Arizona surveying crew who has actively demonstrated an eagerness to learn and get involved in projects. Shari is our receptionist in Monrovia and has been a huge support in our organizational efforts and stellar holiday decoration in the Monrovia office. Their ongoing dedication and passion for what they do have greatly enriched our team. In addition to these milestones, we're thrilled to welcome Bruce Mayhook, who joins our team with 30 years of electrical engineering experience. His wealth of knowledge is sure to grow our in-house electrical services. That's not all, we are proud to advance professional development and continuing education for our staff. Please congratulate Tim Kwan and Alec Escamilla for earning their Professional Engineer (PE) licenses, this achievement not only reflects their commitment to personal growth but also enhances our firm's overall expertise and capabilities.
Our projects have undergone remarkable transformations, akin to the changing seasons. Construction oversight services continue to progress during the construction of the Foothill Gold Line, a new light rail system from Glendora to Pomona in the City of La Verne. Dan Keesey (former Director of Public Works for La Verne and now Civiltec Team Member) has provided management services to the City of La Verne during the design and construction phase of the project. This project promises improved commute times for local residents. The Industry Business Center Recycled Water Reservoir is operational serving the City of Industry's ambitious development efforts. Our Arizona team completed a shared-use path for hikers, bikers, and roadway travelers in the City of Sedona. All roadway and drainage improvements merge with the well-known beauty of Sedona's red rocks. Our work on a design-build contract with W.A Rasic on the Glendale Pipeline Management Program FY 20-21 finished construction, marking another design that provides communities with water. Lastly, the kickoff of Magnolia Avenue Water Main Interconnection forged a new client relationship with the City of Buena Park. We also have new electrical and controls design projects in southern Nevada. Check the sidebar for more project articles. We're excited to continue exceeding client expectations to bring engineering innovation and functionality to Arizona and California.
