According to a city press release, here is the March 29, nomination from a fellow employee:
“April is always willing to help any and everyone with a smile on her face. She not only helps our customers, but other co-workers no matter the task. April is also dependable. She is at work daily on time and stays over when needed.”
STARS stands for “Succeeding Through Attitudes Reflecting Service Excellence.” STARS are an example of representing the city in a positive light, exhibiting the core values, and creating a better quality of life for citizens.
The STARS Service Excellence program recognizes outstanding employees who embody the city’s standards for service excellence and exemplify the city’s core service values.
The purpose of the STARS award is to recognize and reward those employees who go beyond their normal job duties in providing outstanding customer service to internal and external customers.
The STARS nominations are reviewed each month by a STARS committee consisting of City employees who then vote for the nominees.
“Congratulations to April Pedigo for being named a STAR,” the press release said.
