His job is never-ending and about as thankless a position in the City as any I know of. No matter how hard he works or how many "favors" he does for the various employees throughout City Hall and elsewhere, he still has a list a mile long that didn't quite get finished; thus creating as many unhappy people per day as happy ones. I can't think of anyone who complains more than I do. My morale is at a very low ebb most of the time because I'm either roasting or I'm freezing. But, as many times as I have had to sit at this desk either with my coat on, or with perspiration running down my forehead, there have been just as many days when I have been made comfortable, sometimes several times in the same day, by the willingness of Mr. Devere King to come up from the basement, climb that infernal fire escape to the roof and turn the air conditioner/furnace either on or off. I would like you to know, Devere, that when I display a little hysteria over the fact that my fingers are beginning to show signs of frost bite, I really know it's not your fault. You've done all that is humanly possible and I don't blame you, even when it seems like I do. (I just have to take out my frustration on someone.) I also know that the various and sundry requests which I make of Mr. King (for anything from information to cleaner) are multiplied many, many times by the requests of others. His batting average in answering our needs runs pretty high, too. Because of his devotion to duty and his ability to empathize with the feelings of his fellow human beings, I hereby nominate Mr. Devere King as "Employees' Employee of the Month." (If you're still there, Devere, I do have one final, small request to make. If you get a minute, will you turn off that d air conditioner!)

We are still waiting for the volunteers who will start the safe drivers/operators association who will receive md direct employee suggestions and (a new one) coordinate employee of the month nominations. Not a one should involve much more than one meeting a month but offer the· chance to get acquainted with your coworkers and make contribution for our own benefit.

To notify the committee members of the date and time of this meeting, JoVonne decided we should use a chain telephone notification process. Needless to say, it didn't work. JoVonne apologizes for the miscommunication gap and said we will try something else for next month's meeting. At the beginning of the meeting JoVonne introduced us to Lynn Ba r s t.e ad , representative for Galbraith & Green Insurance Group. Lynn handed out a pamphlet and explained rur life and medical insurance programs to us. If you have any questions, just ask your committee representative and he can tell you anything you want to know(?) We then asked Lynn about potential optical and dental programs. Lynn explained that the optical programs, when contracted out, are not worth the premiums as they have very limited benefits. A typical dental plan offers benefits with approximately $25 deductible per member, per year, and then each claim is 80% covered. The premiums are roughly $7 for single coverage per month and $15 for family coverage per month. Most carriers will not underwrite an optional plan. (In other words, everyone would have to participate.) Lynn will be submitting more details on available plans and at the time our insurance programs go out to bid this year, optical and dental programs may be included. From this point, the meeting GRIN AND BEAR IT continued without Mr. Barstead. JoVonne asked each representative to report on his division's wishes. They included: sick leave reim~:bursement; longevity pay; medical insurance reimbursement to nonmembers; a personal, floating holiday; inspector's liability insurance (Bldg.); clothing allowance (Bldg.); uniform allowance increase (Police & Fire); out-of-class pay; and early retirement. There was discussion on our pension plan and Mr. Barstead has agreed to come back to discuss it at a later date. All-in-all, everyone has agreed that more money is the #1 priority. The Salary Survey Committee's next meeting will be a discussion of the job classifications, CML 4-S. • survey data and cost of living. !1:.,~ ~ ---~ .. •-.c..,...,....... c.1m Linda "Hike ~tie way we handled our pay,-'·· --raise • ~ •· • 'All those in favor, hold out. your hand/ " · *********************************************************************** Treat your wife 1 ike a thoroughbred, and she won't turn into an old nag.

She took her folks from Fort Collins to Rawlins, Wyoming, to surprise her brother on his birthday and spent Easter with him. Genevieve's father was 87 years old on Monday, April 25. They had a birthday dinner for him in Fort Collins. Congratulations are in order for Ruth's daughter, Jamie, who made Cadet with the City. Evelyn Utterback received a check from the Reader's Digest Sweepstakes; certainly not enough to retire on -- just enough to restore her faith in the Sweepstakes. Libby Leopard spent a few days in Dallas, Texas, for a family reunion. *********************************************************************** CREDIT UNION INFORMATION ' . Employees of the City of Thornton may soon be able to join a Federal credit union. Initial contact has been made with the Adams County Credit Union and the following information has been obtained. With its office located in the County Administration Building in Brighton, this credit union has employee members from Adams County, Brighton, Commerce City, Federal Heights, Northglenn, North Washington Water & Sanitation, North Pecos Water & Sanitation, Adams County Communications Center, Adams County Center for the Retarded and West Adams Fire Department. In all there are nearly nine hundred members. The credit union offers savings accounts with semi-annual dividends. For the last three periods interest of six percent was paid on shares. Savings are insured up to $40,000. Also, share insurance of up to $2,000 is available. Signature loans of up to $400 can be obtained with 10% of the loan amount in a shareholder's savings. Regular secured loans of up to $9,000 maximum with equal collateral and 10% of the amount of the loan in savings also are offered. Interest on all loans is one percent per month on the unpaid balance and a person must be a member of the credit union for three months before any loan may be obtained. All savings and loan payments are made through payroll deductions. Membership in the Adams County Credit Union entitles a member to apply for loans from the Colorado Central Credit Union for larger amounts for mortgages and so forth. Also, a membership entitles your immediate family members to join. The Board of Directors meets each Monday and decides on loan requests. Therefore, the Credit Union requires applications for loans to be turned in by the previous Thursday for consideration at the weekly meeting. There is no minimum number of people that are required for the City of Thornton to become eligible for membership in the Adams County Credit Union; however, the more interested, the better. We need to send a letter to the Union's Board of Directors expressing our intent to join so that the Board can request an increase in its charter size from the national board. We plan on sending this letter so that it can be considered at the May 9, 1977, meeting. We, therefore, would like the names of those people interested in joining by 5:00 P.M., Wednesday, May 4, 1977. Of course, if we don't get your name by that date, it will not exclude you from joining, but the more names that accompany the letter of intent, the better our chance becomes to join the Credit Union. Anyone interested should contact Penny Conlin (Ext. 224), Del Allbee (BuildinQ Maintenance) or Bob Kochevar (Ext. 237) by May 4. ********~************************************************************** �PG. 6 EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH Congratulations to Steve Young of the Public Works Sanitation Section for his selection as Employee of the Month for April, 1977. Steve started with the City in April of 1974 as amaintenanceman in the Street Section. After a few months, Steve transferred to the Sanitation Section and quickly became operator of one of the City's Shu-Paks (for those not in the know, a Shu-Pak is a one-man, side-loading refuse collection vehicle). Within the Sanitation Section, Steve has continued a high level of performance and was elevated to Crew Leader last September. Steve now handles day-to-day management of the refuse collection phase of the Sanitation operations, as well as running his own Shu-Pak. Steve's onthe-job experience has also recently been put to use in formulating a proposed rescheduling of the refuse collection routing that will result in greatly increased efficiency. Steve, you're a credit to Public Works and to the City of Thornton! *********************************************************************** THANK YOU COFFEEBREAK QUIZ Give the first names of the following famous people: Dante Rembrandt Michelangelo For the answer to turn to Page 9. this quiz, To all you nice folks: Evelyn for grading tests and doing employee verifications; Ruth for answering the telephones; Candy and others for assemblying employee handbooks; Linda for sending approximately five hundred letters to applicants; and everyone for having patience and understanding that Camelot won't be built in a day.

Let's give a warm welcome to John Hogue, who started working at the City Shops on April 25, 1977. John was born in Denver August 7, 1957, and graduated from Thornton High School in 1975. John comes to us after working for a John Deere dealer in Strasburg. He enjoys all recreation and also participates in rodeos, doing a little bit of calf-roping, but mostly bareback bronc and bull riding. Randy Betts, who also is working at the Shops, started on April 21. He was born in Denver in 1950 and is a 1968 graduate of Mapleton High School. He is certified with the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence. (Now, that's something to be proud of!) Before coming to the City, Randy worked at the International Hospital Association as an assistant manager in charge of housekeeping. Before that he owned the Conoco station next to City Hall. Randy and his wife, Patty (one of our dispatchers), have three children; Cari 4; Melissa 5 and Louedna 6. Steve Fenton started as a Meter Reader April 25. He is a graduate of Trenton High School in Trenton, Michigan. Steve worked at Olan Mills, Inc., before coming to Thornton. He and his wife, Mary, came from Michigan to make their home here in the Denver area. Let's all make a special effort to welcome our new, fellow employees any chance we can get. And, if I've missed any of you, just give me a ring on extension 213, and I'll make sure to introduce you to everyone in the next month's paper. Linda *********************************************************************** NEWS FROM WATER MAINTENANCE Congratulations to Al Frey of Maintenance for his promotion to Operator I on February 1. Also, we would like to welcome our newest member to rodent control; "Spider," a small male black cat. He wandered into the Shop complex around the 6th of April and is still here, thanks to some small hand-outs from the complex group. We've decided to hire him as long as he would like to stay. However, we would like to raise some money to make him at home here -- for rabies shots, a collar and food, primarily; but, if enough money is raised, we will get him a basket and litter box. After all, he will control the mice problem, and a friendly face is always welcome down here. Mike Dittman ~RATIONAL &A,&TY -•USA.

TEST YOUR COMPREHENSION The American safety community has an unprecedented opportunity to involve tens of millions of Americans in virtually every major category of safety-- and help save many lives and limbs and property in the process. The opportunity comes in the form of an NBC Network prime time television program called "The National Disaster Survival Test," which will be aired at 8 P.M., Eastern Time, Sunday, May 1, 1977. It will be a 90-rninute "Big Event." The program will be produced for NBC by Bush Productions, Inc., in cooperation with the National Safety Council. It was Warren Bush, President of BPI, who wrote and produced the National Drivers' Test for CBS in 1965. That program won the coveted Peabody Award and other awards, was called ''the highest-rated public affairs program in the history of television," and generated more mail than any TV program before or since. But unlike the Drivers' Test, which focused strictly on traffic safety, the National Disaster Survival Test will be concerned with all types of safety -- Public, Horne and Industrial, as well as Traffic----=-=all within the context of disasters, large and small. Test Form To take the National Disaster Survival Test, the home viewer need only have pen or pencil and the official Test answer form, designed and produced by the National Safety Council. The Test form will also be printed in TV GUIDE. As a member of the National Safety Council, AWWA has been asked to publicize the event and urge you to reproduce the test form for distribution to your employees and their families. The test will be divided into six different sections. Each will deal with questions relating to disasters caused by fire, water, ice or sun, tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes and first-aid procedures. Each will run the course of one television act, 12 minutes on the average, al though sections will vary in length. So important is this event to the safety of all that we and the National Safety Council urge you to reproduce the test form on the next page for distribution to all employees and solicit their participation in this once-in-a-generation opportunity.

I had the privilege this month of being invited, as Thornton's representative, to attend the Seventh Annual Employer Appreciation Luncheon of the Cooperative Office Education Class and the Future Business Leaders of America of Thornton High School. To simplify that, let me say that Candy Radke, our "Girl Friday" who does the reproduction and handles the supply room, works with us through the Cooperative Office Education Class at Thornton High. Each year, they have a banquet to honor their employers. There are some thirty-five girls and boys m the program now, twice that of last year, and the program is scheduled to double again next year. Many of you are aware of the fact that Chris from the Building Department, our Cashier, Sherry, and Wanda from Data Processing all came to us from this program and stayed on to become valuable full time employees. I must say that I was very proud of Candy. There must have been easily two hundred people there, and she was one of the five or six M.C. 's of the program. Although she was nervous as a cat (I know you find that hard to believe, and so did I), she stood up there and carried on like a real pro. I was proudest of all, though, when she was presented with a plaque and award for "OUTSTANDING EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR." I think you will all agree with me when I say that she really earned that award.
