THE CURRENT

CITY MANAGER’S CORNER The United Way Campaign is now underway. United Way provides aid to the most vulnerable in our community by connecting people to the resources most able to meet their need. Pledge forms have been distributed and you can even pledge your donation online using E-way.

Your Department Representative will have all of the details. It is our goal to ensure that any employee who would like to give has the opportunity to do so. While a monetary donation is always appreciated, sharing your ideas about how we can make the most out of the current and future campaigns, or volunteering your time to a Department Fundraiser is just as valuable. Let’s make this the best United Way Campaign yet!

May you and your family be abundantly blessed during this Thanksgiving and Christmas season! ~ Patrick Roberts

CITY OF SUFFOLK’S HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT AWARDED The City of Suffolk’s Human Resources Department was awarded the 2018 International Public Management Association (IPMA-HR) Agency Award for Excellence – Small Agency at the organization’s International Training Conference and Expo held in Phoenix, Arizona in late September. This award recognizes the overall quality, accomplishments and contributions of an agency’s human resource program that exceeds the normal operation of a “good government human resource program.”

Days two and three focused on the Ken Blanchard Situational Leadership II program. Most importantly, students had an opportunity to network and share information and experiences with their peers.

Managers were presented with a certificate of completion by Deputy City Manager Scott Mills, and were joined by their Department Director or Department Representative at an end of course ceremony.

On October 25, 2018, twelve City of Suffolk

managers completed the Situational Leadership and Workplace Essentials for Middle Managers course, a part of the Suffolk Leadership Development Program.

The course is a three-day program. Students were welcomed by the City Training Manager Keith Davis who stressed the importance of this opportunity to develop and improve their leadership skills. The first day included a discussion of basic principles of leadership as well as core city policies critical to understand for effective management. The HR Director, Dr. Nancy Olivo, led a session on the City’s Employee Engagement Initiative and Performance Management Process.

Congratulations to employee Lakeisha Staton, Custodial Supervi-

sor, who purchased a brand new home in the Lake Kennedy subdivision. The Lake Kennedy project is a partnership with the City of Suffolk’s CHDO (Community Housing Development Organization) and Habitat for Humanity, whose goal it was to build nine homes for first time homebuyers. The land for the project was donated by the City of Suffolk and the City utilized US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funds to help finance this project. Many partners were used in making this project successful. To date, eight homes have been completed and all are occupied with new homeowners. The ninth and final home which will be completed within the month has been sold and the new owner is anxiously waiting to receive their move-in date. This project has been the collaboration of a number of partners and we are so glad to have one of our own as a new homeowner. Congrats, Lakeisha!!!
