At a September 1994 meeting, the City Council adopted <br />Resolution No. 94-47, establishing an Employee Recognition Committee (ERC). The ERC then <br />recommended a list of programs to recognize employees for: years of service, exceptional <br />performance and retirement. In June of 2005, the Employee Recognition Policy was established. <br />The 2013 ERC was made up of the following employees: Sue Iverson, Sara Grant, Amy Dietl, <br />Pang Silseth and Dave Winkel and Brenda Holden as the Council representative. <br /> <br />Employee of the Year <br />The purpose of selecting an Employee of the Year is to reward employees who are judged by <br />their co-workers to be deserving of special recognition for their accomplishments and <br />contributions to the City. The ERC (including Councilmember Brenda Holden as the Council <br />representative) met and followed the procedure below to determine the City of Arden Hills 2013 <br />Employee of the Year: <br /> <br /> <br />Each employee was given the opportunity to nominate a City employee for Employee of the <br />Year. <br /> <br /> <br />The following categories represented areas which are used to determine an Employee of the <br />Year. Each nomination must relate to either one of the categories, and shall include a <br />description detailing the reason for the nomination. <br /> <br /> Exceptional Performance <br />1.- Consistent high-level of dependability, reliability, <br />responsibility and integrity over a period of employment with the City are items <br />measured in this category. Recognition is given to high quality, ongoing and consistent <br />dedication to the City. This category also recognizes individuals who consistently project <br />a positive image of the City and its services to his/her co-workers and the general public. <br />12 <br />Page of <br /> <br />
