Ketner Employee Productivity Award Applicants <br />C. Ronald Aycock, Executive Director <br /> <br />June 29, 1999 <br /> <br />Announcement of Winners <br /> <br />The Association would like to announce the winners of the 1998-99 Ketner Employee Productivity Awards <br />Program. As you may recall, Mr. Ralph Ketner, co-founder of Food Lion, Inc., donates $10,000 each year to <br />reward outstanding county employees for their successful productivity initiatives. This year marks the <br />Association's eighth year in organizing the program--to date, the program has identified over $60 million in <br />savings to our counties. <br /> <br />Each year, the Association's president appoints two review committees made up of commissioners, managers, <br />county staff, and IOG representatives one committee considers applications from managerial staff and one <br />reviews those submitted by line staff. The review committees met on Thursday, June 24, 1999, to consider all <br />eligible applications for the 1998-99 Ketner Productivity Awards Program. Based on the committees' review, <br />the following county employees were selected as having submitted the best productivity enhancements: <br /> <br />oun~ amc 'lU ~oi~ foremen <br />Cabarms Michael Murphy Lunch Plus Club for Elderly Nutrition <br />Chatham Carolyn Chandre & Thomas Bender Fire Inspections Public Awareness <br />Craven Pat Thompson Reducing Inmate Health Care Costs <br />,'raven Roy "Rusty" Hayes Creekside Recreation Park Reuse Irrigation System <br />Durham Gudrun Parmer & Jo Iverson "Just Us" --Day Program for Youthful Offenders <br />Halifax Evelyn Dawson & Child Support Team Effectiveness of Liens to Collect Child Support <br />Jackson Richard Smith Recycling Wheelchair Ramps <br />Moore Aging Staff& EMS Team S.A,F.E.

To ensure that the local media is informed of <br />the employee's achievements, Association staff will also send press releases describing the employee's <br />productivity initiative. <br /> <br />I want to thank all county employees who sent in productivity ideas in response to the Ralph W. Ketner <br />Employee Productivity Awards Program. Thank you for your submission and especially for your commitment <br />to improving county government. <br /> <br /> <br />
