TO: Personnel Department
FROM: Suggestion Committee
SUBJECT: Major Herrick--"EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH"-April 1989
The City' s "Employee of the Month" for April is one of our
firefighters who was recommended by his superior on account
of his outstanding record and for a money saving idea he had
submitted.
►i
Major Herrick is an Engineer II at Redding Municipal Airport
Fire Station No. 7 . His proposal to use 3% foam instead of
6% foam on chemical and fuel spills will enable our trucks to
produce twice as many gallons of finished product when it' s
needed, and will result in a 25% savings in costs.
We understand his mechanical expertise has also saved the
City money on parts and repair costs.
Battalion Chief Steve Eckard, who recommended him for this
award, says Major is an excellent firefighter and has always
been an enthusiastic employee. He is a real asset to the
City.
