DATE: September 18, 1984 County
SUBJECT: Certificate of Commendation
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize issuance of Certificate of Commendation to Dianne McSwain, Energy and
Incentive Specialist, in recognition of her dedication to and energetic implementa-
tion of the County's Employee Energy Savings Program as funded through the
California Energy Extension Services contract with the Governor's Office of
Research and Planning.
BACKGROUND:
In the fall of 1983, the. Board of Supervisors entered into a contract with the
State of California to use the County's Employee Suggestion Award Program to
encourage employees to submit energy saving suggestions. The contract was for
$29,140 in State funds and included provisions for one half-time professional ,
one half-time clerical , plus a small operating budget for a ten-month period.
Ms. McSwain was employed with grant funds for the period of the contract and her
employment ends September 28, 1984.
Dianne McSwain has demonstrated to members of the Employee Suggestion Award
Committee and staff of the County Administrator's Office her extraordinary
dedication to the concepts and implementation of the project. Through her efforts,
County employees, mid-management, and department administration have become active
participants and supporters of both the Employee Suggestion Award. and the
Employee Energy Savings programs. More than 170 suggestions have been submitted
and more are being submitted each week. Some suggestions have resulted in
financial savings to the County, while others have improved morale, safety, or
public awareness of County operations. In addition, there is evidence that
employees, through this program, have become aware of the need for their involve-
ment in improving County operations. It is likely that this awareness will result
in increasing significant savings in the future.
Due to her hard work and respect she has earned from employees, department heads,
and the Employee Suggestion Awards Committee, we recommend this Certificate of
Commendation.
