August Employee of the Month

CONGRATULATIONS to

TONI WEEKS

Paralegal with the City Attorney’s Office

for being selected as Employees of the Month for August 2016.

As the recipient of the award for the Mayor’s Employee of the Month Program, please join us in extending warm congratulations to Toni in receiving this recognition.  After a review of all of the nominations the Selection Committee chose her as the winner for her incredible work ethic, stellar work performance, and teamwork. 

Toni began her employment with the City on July 17, 2000, as a Pension Clerk.  On June 2, 2001, she was promoted to her current position of Paralegal due, in part, to her intelligence and exceptional organizational skills.

Toni’s responsibilities are multifaceted and frequently unlimited.  On a day-to-day basis, Toni drafts city ordinances; researches, organizes and coordinates legal data for purposes of union negotiations; assists in real estate matters; and provides litigation support and trial preparation for all matters including code enforcement, tax foreclosures, bankruptcies, and land use.  She also works closely with the Mayor in preparation of the monthly agenda regarding matters which need consideration by the Board of Aldermen.

Because Toni has an unparalleled knowledge and understanding of the workings of the city, other departments often reach out to her for assistance in deciphering and issuing administrative and legal documents.  Toni has willingly shared her organizational expertise with other departments to streamline their job responsibilities. 

Toni’s outstanding work ethic and dedication are of the highest caliber. Her grace under pressure and resilience in the face of adversity is admirable and greatly appreciated.  These are just a few of the many reasons the Mayor extends his sincere congratulations and appreciation to Toni for the outstanding attributes she exhibits as Employees of the Month.

Again, congratulations to Toni!
