City of Colton Community Services Department

Staff Spotlight Welcome to the Community Services Department "Staff Spotlight" where a different staff member is featured in each issue. These special staff members are recognized for their daily contributions to our department and for their commitment to the Colton Community.

meet Anthony Fernandez In March 2016, Anthony celebrated his 15 year anniversary as an employee of the Recreation Division. Anthony began finding his niche in Recreation very early when he started volunteering at the Hutton Center as a 13 year old. Once old enough, he started as an entry level Recreation Leader where he was assigned the most basic of responsibilities and gradually moved into a part time supervisory role. Anthony never saw himself really working anywhere else but in Recreation. He worked hard to make this job his future career. Anthony became a Full Time Recreation Coordinator in 2012, where his primary responsibilities are to oversee the Teen Center, Healthy Colton, and the Contract Class program. With his years in the Recreation Division, Anthony continues to assist customers and staff members with his knowledge and leadership. His dedication to the success of our department can be seen by the care and attention that goes into those who attend the Teen Center and participate in the programs he oversees.

Anthony is one of the hardest working and most customer friendly staff. His veteran status makes him the go-to guy for many staff in the Community Services Department. We thank Anthony for his dedication to our residents and look forward to his future service to our community.

Hot weather Tips  Drink plenty of fluids, even if you do not feel thirsty. Avoid drinks with caffeine or alcohol.  Wear loose-fitting, lightweight, lightcolored clothing. Avoid dark colors because they absorb the sun’s rays.  Slow down, stay indoors and avoid strenuous exercise during the hottest part of the day. Postpone outdoor games and activities.  Take frequent breaks if you must work outdoors, and use a buddy system when working in excessive heat. C heck on family, friends and neighbors who do not have air conditioning, who spend much of their time alone or who are more likely to be affected by the heat.  Never leave children or pets alone in enclosed vehicles.

CITY OF COLTON’S EASTER EGG HUNT AND EARTH DAY CELEBRATION

40

This past March we celebrated the City of Colton’s Easter Egg Hunt and Earth Day Celebration at Rich Dauer Park.

Hundreds of residents gathered together with community leaders and organizations, not only for the grand Easter Egg Hunt but also to learn more about sustainability!

Participants enjoyed food, activities, games, prizes and educational conservation booths!

Republic Services is dedicated to making a difference in your community, and it shows. Every year we collect tons of recyclable materials from the City of Colton, but more can always be done; starting with education!

Republic’s recycling robot joined in on the fun and helped educate, engage and motivate the community to protect the environment. Through song and dance we make it fun and easy for residents to learn The Three R’s - Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. When it comes to serving our communities, we’re devoted to providing the most effective public education. Our innovative robot is designed to draw residents and inspire them to be environmental champions!
