Mayor's Award of Excellence: Mindy Stacy |
Pictured: Mayor Camp, Mindy Stacy, and Danny Astill, Public Works Director
The mayor is pleased to recognize Mindy Stacy this month for her outstanding service in the public works department. Mindy is efficient, adaptable, and someone the department relies on to find solutions. Her competence, great attitude, and helpfulness are always appreciated by her coworkers as well as the public.
Mindy has been a key person in implementing the Neighborhood Cleanup program. Despite software issues that put the project off to a rocky start, she quickly found a way to work around the technological problems and allow residents to reserve dumpsters. Mindy is innovative, sees through every project from start to finish, and follows up on every detail.
If you’ve seen some of the informative and creative social media posts from the public works department, you know that Mindy has done a fantastic job managing the department’s Facebook and Instagram posts. She makes it a priority to keep residents and businesses informed about upcoming projects, emergency water outages, and spotlights the hardworking employees in her department. Her communication skills are much appreciated.
Mindy is very deserving of this award of excellence, and the city is fortunate to have her. Keep up the great work, Mindy!
