List of accomplishments
1. Every employee at public works has a Colorado collection license and acommercial drivers license I do not believe any other city in Colorado can say that.
Tom brought Public works into the 21 century.
He added computers to our offices.
We started keeping records on wastewater collection lines, irrigation lines, mountain water, traffic safety, road maintenance and building maintenance. We have more information on every Fruita sewer lines than anyone can imagine.
Tom has mentored each employee to become the best he or she can be.
Tom is always early to work and staying late to make sure everything is done the way it should be done.
Tom was the key person to help design and construct the most advanced biological nutrient removal wastewater reclamations facility in the western United States.
What tom has taught me
Make sure you listen to your employees.
Be fair and honest.
Make sure you understand the problem before you make a decision.
It’s OK to think outside the box.
