At its 6 p.m. meeting tonight, the Middle Township Committee will honor Sal DeSimone as the April 2016 Employee of the Month.
A resident of Rio Grande, DeSimone originally began his career with Middle Township in 1989, serving as Fire Subcode and Building Official until 1999. In May 2015 he resumed his employment with Middle Township, and now serves as the Construction Official, Fire Subcode Official and Floodplain Manager. Not surprisingly, he states that helping people is his favorite part of his job.
“Sal is very community-minded,” said Mayor Michael Clark. “His commitment to safety in his profession is exemplary, and he has been a long-time dedicated volunteer for the fire company. Sal is always working to make Middle Township a better place.”
Married for 47 years, DeSimone has three children and two dogs. In his spare time, he enjoys going up the mountains and volunteering at the Rio Grande Fire Company.
The Middle Township Employee of the Month program was initiated by the Township Committee to honor employees who exemplify the Township’s commitment to better delivery of services and going the extra mile for residents. The program culminates with the Darius Graham Employee of the Year honor that is named after one of the Township’s most beloved employees in its history.
Nominations for the Employee of the Month Program are available inside Middle Township hall at three locations: Human Resources and Training Department, Administration Department, and on the bulletin board. Residents from the Township who have had a very positive interaction with any Middle Township employee may pick up the one-page nomination form and fill it out in the employee’s behalf. Each month a Township employee will be selected; the winning nominee will receive a certificate at a future Township Committee meeting along with a photograph posted on the bulletin board.
