CDD Employee Recognized

2013 Rosie Award Recipients
Antonio Ligon, Mansour Qwaider & Julio Hernandez 

Each year Glendale City Employees have the opportunity to nominate a fellow employee for the prestigious Rosie Award. This award was named after Rosie Flores Gritzewsky, a City employee who was devoted to serving others. She was proud to be a Glendale Employee and was an example of professionalism, respect, kindness and humor. The Rosie Award is the highest recognition that can be given to a City employee for outstanding dedication and commitment to professional customer service and compassionate human relations. The City's Human Relations Committee reviews all nominations and makes their selection each fall.

This year, the Community Development Departments very own Julio Hernandez was one of three City employees honored with the Rosie Award. Julio is in charge of supervising the City’s Court-Ordered Community Service Program, overseeing workers as they perform right-of-way beautification and community improvement projects. He also supervises workers in clean up and maintenance projects on private property through the Property Clean Up Program (PCUP). His co-workers and clients regularly commend him on his excellent leadership and customer service skills. We congratulate Julio on this well deserved recognition!
