Stephanie Storm and Nelda Timmons City of Wylie

Two Wylie city employees, Nelda Timmons of the City Manager’s office and Stephanie Storm of the City Secretary’s office, tied for Best Municipal Employee in The Wylie News readers’ poll.

Storm went to work in the City Secretary’s office 10 ½ years ago. In her prior job in the final documents department of a mortgage company, she learned some of the tasks that make her transition to records analyst a little easier.

“At my previous job I scanned and sent records to be recorded with the county, so I was familiar with that aspect of the position,” she said.

Since joining the city, she has received training in the Public Information Act, the enterprise content management system, Laserfiche and records management rules and regulations.

“I absolutely love what I do. It is everchanging and I learn something new every day,” Storm said. “I enjoy doing research and locating information to assist citizens and staff members.”

The records analyst earned a bachelor’s

degree in business administration, Texas Registered Municipal Clerk certification and has completed five Laserfiche Certified Professional courses.

She currently serves on the Leadership Wylie executive board.

Timmons is Executive Administrative Assistant in the office of City Manager and has been employed with the city of Wylie for seven years. She worked for the city of Garland for six years.

“Working for a municipality gives you a sense of pride when you are able to assist a citizen with their particular needs or concerns,” Timmons said. “I have always enjoyed customers and working in a municipality.”

The executive administrative assistant pointed out that she received on-the-job training at Garland and Wylie and continues to receive training in technology and governmental procedures.

Timmons is a volunteer with Meals on Wheels where she organized a group of Wylie administrative assistants to help deliver meals on Fridays, and she attends New Hope Church.
