Summary:
Annual Public Service Recognition awards will be presented at the City Council meeting Tuesday evening. The following awards will be presented:
Good Samaritan Award - James Brackett
One of the City of Olathe’s core values is leadership through service, which can be described as leading by building up those around them. This award was given to someone who has brought this particular value to life in doing something exceptional for someone else. This could include a random act of kindness, a lifesaving action, or simply going above and beyond the call of duty with no expectation for recognition.
Leadership Philosophy Award - Clayton Duffin, Kelli Polk
This award was given to individuals whose mere presence and attitude inspires others. They embody the Leadership Philosophy by reflecting passion, collaboration, stewardship, leadership development, celebration and measurement in all they do.
Vision, Values, Mission Award - Daniel Pope, Meriam Raquel, Omar Lindt
Vision, Values, Mission Award - Teamwork - Vehicle Maintenance (Mike Deschenes, Jeff Brotherton, Mike Hercules, Tim McVay, Germean Chisolm, Stephen Brewer)
The City’s vision, values and mission were written to inspire how employees do their work. It’s often said that “someone may not remember what you did for them, but they will remember how you made them feel;” and that may best summarize this award. In other words, they didn’t just do their job, but they did it in a way that enhances their team and positively impacts the City as a whole.
Innovation Through Excellence Award - Clinton Kissinger
It’s one thing to envision the future but an entirely different contribution to create the path that takes you there. This individual brought forth and implemented an innovative process, program or idea.
2040 Future Ready Award - Mobile Integrated Health Team (Chief DeGraffenreid, Kristine Martin, Kevin Weyand, Jarrod Stewart, Chris Curtis, Kevin Harris, Whitney Venegoni)
The City of Olathe is working diligently to ensure we are future ready. As we embark on the first phase of our Olathe 2040 Future Ready Strategic Plan, we look to internal leadership to make pivotal decisions that will shape what this looks like and how we will get there. This award recognizes a team who is addressing tomorrow’s challenges today by demonstrating an effective approach to enhancing Olathe’s quality of life, infrastructure, economy and/or exceptional services.
