while always trying to find a solution to problems. Jon also has been working with me on the
2014 budget and has offered many ideas that will help the Recreation Department with future

14 years, and more importantly, his leadership during his internship as a paid employee.
If you have any questions concerning employment, do not hesitate to call me.
