The Saskatchewan Public Works Association (SPWA) has recognized two employees with the City of Moose Jaw for their outstanding contributions in their fields.
At the 2022 SPWA convention in Saskatoon from Feb. 22-24, Staci Dobrescu, public works supervisor (water), received the Gerry Wheeler Memorial Award for making a “valuable contribution to the SPWA.”
Dobrescu is currently president of SPWA.
“Staci Dobrescu has been quite honestly killing herself over the past couple of weeks with water breaks and her crews are working hard to try and restore service to people,” said city manager Jim Puffalt.
Additionally, Jason Trzaskowski, public works supervisor (streets and roads), received the Public Works Person of the Year award. According to the SPWA, the Public Works Person of the Year award recognizes “outstanding service to the profession, the public and the SPWA by an individual who truly exemplifies the public works official.”
“Jason has been completing a really good job and this is really his first year of looking after streets and roads and ensuring that snow removal is carrying on in a good fashion,” Puffalt said.
“We congratulate Staci and Jason on their well-deserved recognition,” said Mayor Clive Tolley. “We thank them for their dedication, leadership and commitment to providing ‘notoriously excellent’ customer service to our residents.”
Tolley acknowledged Dobrescu and Trzaskowski during the March 14 regular city council meeting.
The next regular council meeting is Monday, March 14.
