Congratulations To Mr. Daniel Klingel with the Augusta Utilities Department.

The Employee Recognition Committee has selected Mr. Daniel Klingel with the Augusta Utilities Department as Employee of the Month for March 2004. Mr. Klingel has worked for the City of Augusta for the past year. He was nominated by fellow employee J. R. Holland who states:

“Daniel has been employed with the Augusta Utilities Department for approximately one year as a Project Utilities Inspector and has already influenced the Augusta Utilities Department positively in several ways. Daniel is diligent, hardworking and strives to know his job as thoroughly as possible. As an inspector of AUD water and sewer construction projects, Daniel has proven to be faithful in performing his job duties and is genuinely interested in the construction and inspection aspects of the projects he is assigned. Daniel has proven he wants to excel in his professional skills and knowledge by studying for and receiving certifications in water and wastewater operations and has plans to further his education in undergraduate studies. Daniel is an assent to the Augusta Utilities Department and has proven to be an employee that takes pride in his work and his department. Daniel is the kind of employee that Augusta can take pride in and rely on to accomplish the tasks he is assigned and to be a good will ambassador to the community. ”

The committee felt that based on Mr. Holland’s recommendation and Mr. Klingel’s attributes he should be awarded Employee of the Month.

Tommy Carpenter states, “During the construction phase of the Jamestown sewer project, a pilot program was implemented having the inspectors to map and add attribute information in the field as the construction was being performed. Utilizing one of the newest computerized technologies, the “GeoXT” handheld GPS unit, Daniel set a new standard for updating our online mapping system. Daniel took the initiative to be the first to utilize the equipment with minimal training and or instructions. The pilot program was a big success due to Daniel’s willingness to improve AUD’s mapping process during the construction phase.”

The committee was also told that during the Utilities Department annual “Give A Child A Christmas” project, a program where money and gifts are collected and dispersed to needy children and families, Daniel volunteered to help. In a matter of a few weeks he started contacting people and was able to raise approximately $1,300 towards their goal of $2,600. He did this without letting his daily duties suffer.

Congratulations You Are Making A Difference In The City Of Augusta!
