Angelo Collier is employed as a Maintenance Worker I with the Augusta Recreation, Parks & Facilities Department. He has been employed with us for thirteen (13) years. Angelo was nominated by Carla McFeely of the Recreation, Parks & Facilities Department. Angelo displays enthusiasm and a knack for helping fellow employees and our customers. Angelo has repeatedly responded to early Saturday morning calls so that he could allow a renter into a facility on the spur of the moment; he would get dressed, arriving at the building in a very short time and ask “is there anything else I can do to help?” Angelo is excellent at establishing good rapport with our customer base and has on several occasions been instrumental in guiding the department events through difficult situations; what could have been disastrous as far as customer service goes, with Angelo’s presence, the situations would end up with success and without one single complaint from our customers. Many times Angelo has been called after normal working hours to go to the Old Government House because the alarm will at time go off; in such a case a security check is required- Angelo is always readily available with no fuss and neither does he make special personal request for going the extra mile. On such occasions Angelo is available for the Sheriff’s deputy and Fire Department personnel in the event of false alarms or any other type of emergency calls. Angelo has provided beyond the call of duty support on numerous occasions particularly when primary managers or supervisors are on vacation; he continues to do so. Again, he goes the extra mile by ensuring that the task at hand are all well prepared for in times of events; the department consistently receives accolades for excellent service provide by Angelo. Angelo is considered to be one of the best rental superintendents for Carla McFeely. Once he is aware of the rules/policies he does not depart from them. Angelo has taken the initiative to learn various facilities by observing our customers as well as reading materials such as standard operation procedures; this enables Angelo to anticipate and address potential problem processes before an unforeseen incident can occur. Angelo is a fast learner, a willing and hardworking employee whom is detailed in his execution of affairs. Managers are assured that when Angelo is on the job, our customers are more than satisfied with the services provided. The Employee Recognition Committee has assessed that based on this nomination and Angelo’s dedicated and loyal service to the City of Augusta, we would appreciate you joining us in awarding Mr. Angelo Collier the July 2012 Employee of the Month award.

During the Code Review process it was discovered that the stairways and elevators did not meet current code requirements. The stairway can be brought up to code with some modifications. However, the optimum solution for the elevators, which require an enclosed smoke lobby and are not ADA Compliant, is to construct a 9-story addition to the building to house new code compliant elevators.
