531 Main St, Silt,CO

Summary

I have worked for the Town of Silt for approximately 22 years. About 10 of those were for the Silt Police department. My tasks included grant writing & reporting. Code research and preparation (for Town Attorney). Scheduling & supervising personnel. Developing training programs and other patrol activities.


In 2012, I retired from LE work and went to Silt Public Works. For 8 years I worked there with Trey, Joe and the crew. I was able to use my mechanical and operating skills to perform all manner of street, building and infrastructure maintenance and repair. I worked along with local contractors and citizens. I passed my Distribution and Collections testing as well as learning to do utility locates, traffic control (cones/flagging), earthwork, and buried utility leak isolation/repair. I worked with the Water/Wastewater Dept assisting with building & equipment maintenance.


In 2020, I volunteered to move to the water dept after most of the staff had retired or moved on. I achieved Colorado Water Professional "A" Water Treatment and "A" Wastewater Treatment license status. For the last 2 years I have been learning our local budgeting system and doing all the ordering for supplies and equipment at both plants.

I am comfortable with technologies used today along with cyber security and threats.


My Licensing and Training certificates are attached for your perusal. I have also attached 2 letters of support. One from a local contractor that is vital to our Towns infrastructure maintenance and another from an Officer I trained and supervised years ago.


I would be happy to discuss my business experiences or provide and details you would like.
