Center: Pete DiDomenico Public Safety: Candy Columbine Plant: Liz Miller Annex: Sharon Brooke City Shops: Pat Reffel FROM THE CITY Mft,NAGER'S DESK Not unlike the private sector, we in municipal government also have our customers. Our customers are the citizens of this city. Like any customers, they have a right to a quality product, good maintenance service, and friendly people with whom to transact their business. They must depend on us to provide services which no other company can provide--protection of their lives and property, maintenance of the streets they travel and the parks in which their children play, even the very water they drink. In return, our customers provide the tax dollars to pay for the equipment which must be purchased and the salaries which must be paid. Prompt, courteous treatment of our "customers" is essential. It is good business and goes a long way in building respect and good feeling toward the City government. �fron, the editor 11 Should a new employee take over the editorship of the "City Chatter"? Perhaps only a new employee is crazy enough!?!? As yOur new editor (and still a fairly new ~mployee), I hope to meet all of you, and to do whatever arm-twisting is necessary to get your contribution to the Chatter. Toddy Wobbema has done a terrific job as editor for the past year, and I shall try to continue in her fine tradition. Looking back through previous editions of the Chatter, I found this excerpt from an early edition: This paper is a continuing effort by the City of Thornton to improve communica~1ons between employees, their departments, and the administration. We hope through this publication to enable employees to get to know each other better, to more fully understand what is going on from one department to another ... This is your publication. This endeavor will only be successful if you make it so .... James Castrodale City Manager June 30, 1972 This is your publication. The news of your department and personnel is interesting to all of us. Please submit your article, news item, classified ad, joke, cartoon, recipe, etc., to me by the 15th of the month, C/0 the Planning Department. Vicki Bri ghtbi 11 11 11 11 11 11 NEWS FROl\!1: .' C0QDW[1D~ W@W[[IB First of all, we would like to congratulate Eric and Barbara Pahlke on the arrival of their son, Philip Brown Pahlke. Philip arrived June 15 (which was Father's Day, by the way). He weighed 6 lb., 14 oz. at birth, and has since gained almost 3 lbs. Make way Broncos! Public works has been very busy with the Street Division repairing potholes, and the Sanitation Division picking up everyone's winter accumulation. And ... hot off the press is a new Refuse Collection Schedule, Rules and Regulations. It will be mailed out with the water billing for the month of September, but anyone who can't.wait can pick one up at the Public Works Department. Two of our recent Employees of the Month came from the Sanitation Department. Mike Ehrman and Mike Pustek, both Equipment Operators, w~re selected for April and May. Public Works has added two new employees: Dan D'Amico, an Equipment Operator in the Sanitation Division, and Darl Kite, an Equipment Operator in the Streets Division. Congratulations to Bob Sanchez, Street Division, who was promoted from Maintenance Worker to Equipment Operator. We would also like to welcome our summer helpers--even though they have already been with us for a month. • recipe BEER BREAD l can (12 ozl beer, room temperature 2 tablespoons sugar 3 cups self-rising flour Mix all ingredients well.

The item stolen was an electronic bug killer that had been purchased by Bldg. Maint. for installation in the lunchroom/office area. This area is plagued by numerous flies and mosquitoes and it was hoped that this device would make working and eating more sanitary and livab1e, but the thief took care of that hope since there is no money to buy another unit. Add this to the long list of items that regularly disappear at the Shop Complex. Standard practice says lock it up or it walks off and sometime it walks off even if it is locked up. Everytime something is stole~ there is anger and frustration over the fact that nothing seems to be done or can be done. People seem to accept the fact that it happens all the time. And it goes on and on. QUESTIONS: What kind of a person steals? ·How do they justify taking from the City and from fellow employees? If you found out who was stealing, would you inform proper authorities? Would you join them? Or would you accept those time worn excuses of It makes up for low wages or they don't appreciate me, etc? Where and when will it a 11 stop? 11 1 ' I think we all would like to believe that one of these days, the thief or thieves will be caught and dealt with. Maybe then we can get back to the point where we can begin to trust one another again. It's tough to work with thieves. You wonder if it is the person you work with or someone from another department. For now it is just a real morale breaker. B. J. Lane Dona Maloy Gail Gold James Bourn.
