Montpelier 2012 / Annual Report / 35
Report every spring, and performs facility and grounds
maintenance.
The Building Maintenance person has been very instrumental
in the renovations that have occurred at City Hall. The first
floor bathrooms have seen much needed rehabilitation
which has also improved the accessibility of these bathrooms
and received a much needed painting, as did the basement
floor bathrooms. The Public Works office received some
maintenance by removing the carpets and replacing it with tile
and painting the walls, which will improve the air quality in
the offices. This work, coupled with the additional work cited
in the Capital Needs Assessment, will give the building a long
overdue facelift to our wonderful building.
There has been a fairly sizeable turnover of employees in the
Public Works Department this year. We would like to thank
these employees and wish them well in their retirements or the
new paths that they are following:
Steve Baker, Streets Division
10 year’s service;
Harold Blake, Wastewater Treatment 15 year’s service;
Dolores Codling, Equipment Division 5 year’s service;
Ron Mercier, Wastewater Treatment 30 year’s service;
Tim Pond, Streets Division
3 year’s service;
Gerry Smith, Wastewater Division 42 year’s service.
We are very fortunate in having a great group of dedicated
employees working for the Public Works Department. The
personnel of this department respond to snow storms, water
and sewer breaks, treatment plant alarms, natural disasters,
building alarms and more for the residents and customers of
the City of Montpelier. I would also like to recognize the other
departments and their department heads for the cooperation
and support in times of need. I would like to thank Bill for
his guidance and wisdom and also Ginny, Tom and Kurt for
their support and teamwork that makes this department so
successful.
If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to call
the Public Works Office at 223-9508.
Todd C. Law, PE, Director
