Agenda Date: June 25, 2018
Subject: Employee Retirement - Jeff Ackerman, Roads Operator
Statement of Issue: Jeff Ackerman, Roads Operator III for the Department of Public Works, is
retiring after 38 years of outstanding public service. A short recognition ceremony and photo
op will be held.
Analysis/Strategic Goals/Pro's Et Con's: The County can only deliver essential services to the
Public through its dedicated employees. Jeff Ackerman has been an exemplary employee for
the Roads department throughout his career. Like most employees in Roads he performs a
wide variety of tasks; however, one of his primary rotes has been operating the County's
brush cutter. Vegetation control is important in our region's growing environment in order to
keep the roadsides clear, maintain sight distance, and promote traffic sign visibility. Jeff has
developed an expert's touch with this equipment resulting in an attractively groomed
roadside while avoiding the many obstacles along the way including wires, fences,
landscaping, mailboxes, etc. He probably has more of the roadside memorized than anyone
in the County. His experience has allowed him to train many others in the proper techniques
which have undoubtedly saved wear and tear on the equipment.
Fiscal Impact/Cost Benefit Analysis: N/A
Recommendation: Please take this opportunity to recognize a dedicated employee, Jeff
Ackerman, who is retiring after 38 years of service and wish him well in his new endeavors.
