CONGRATULATIONS to

John Reilly

Custodian/Stock Clerk in the Building Maintenance Division within the Public Works Department

for being selected as Employee of the Month for July 2018.

As the recipient of the award for the Mayor’s Employee of the Month Program, please join us in extending a warm congratulation to John in receiving this recognition.  After a review of all of the nominations, the Selection Committee unanimously chose him as the winner for his professionalism, teamwork, positive attitude and willingness to always go above and beyond expectation.    

John began his employment with the City of Milford as a Building Custodian on August 2, 1982.  He remained in that position until July 1, 1997 when he was promoted to Custodian/Stock Clerk.  John is currently the Acting Night Foreman, a position he was assigned to on January 2, 2018.

The position of a Custodian is to ensure the buildings are kept neat, clean, free from clutter, and safe.  John is highly diligent in carrying out all daily tasks.  John has taken on additional duties and responsibilities in his current position as Acting Night Foreman.  He has taken on the role of trainer to his fellow custodians, teaching new aspects of the job with which they may not be knowledgeable.  John’s services are integral to the many events in the city.  He is there to set up, take down, and bring necessary items from one city building to another.  His expertise is relied upon for setting up audio systems for the various city events.

John can always be counted on to be accommodating, quick with a joke and a story to tell.  These are just a few of the many reasons the Mayor extends his sincere congratulations and appreciation to John for the outstanding attributes he exhibits as Employees of the Month.

Again, congratulations to John!
