Memo <br /> <br />To: <br /> <br />From: <br /> <br />CC: <br /> <br />Date: <br /> <br />Re: <br /> <br />Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners <br /> <br />Jean Kennedy and Rick Payne <br /> <br />John Day, County Manager <br /> <br />08/05/03 <br /> <br />Presentation of Ketner Award <br /> <br />Cabarrus County Recycling and HHW Coordinator, Eileen Sousley and ITS Analyst Debbie <br />Hinkle were recently named as recipients of a 2003 Ralph Ketner Employee Productvity Award. <br />Each year, this awards program donates $10,000 to reward innovative county employees for their <br />successful productivity improvements. <br /> <br />Eileen was rewarded for her entry, "Online Office Supply Swap Shop". The Swap Shop was <br />started after a waster assessment of each department revealed that some departments had a surplus <br />of commonly used office supplies while other depamnents ordered these supplies on a regular <br />basis. Debbie Hinkle developed a program running on the county Intmnet that enabled employees <br />to post surplus supplies and to request supplies of others. Eileen coordinated the moving of large <br />items through the General Services staff. <br /> <br />The Swap Shop has saved numerous departments money on replenishing some of their ever <br />dwindling office supplies and has enabled other departments to obtain useful furniture and <br />equipment where budgets prevented the purchase. <br /> <br />The North Carolina Association of County Commissioners' review committee ranked this <br />project as one of the top ten of the 98 applications received. Eileen and Debbie were awarded <br />a check for $1,000 at the Association's Annual Conference, held August 15, 2003 in <br />Greensboro. <br /> <br />· Page 1 <br /> <br /> <br />
