6. EMPLOYEE AWARDS FOR REWARDING IDEAS PROGRAMS Present the following employees awards from the Rewarding Ideas Program: Richard Alan Sumner , $2,500: Air Quality --Proposed the extensive review of the Air Permit Holders database to evaluate whether Annual Air Permit Administrative Fees were being accurately applied. The study revealed that approximately 5% of the Air Permit Holders had been misclassified, causing Maricopa County to under charge the legitimate fees. Reclassifying the Annual Air Permit Administrative Fees increased annual revenues by $118,480. Lesley Kratz $2,500: Assessor ’ s Office --Proposed changing the page layout format to the Assessor ’ s Annual Valuation Notice (8 ½ x 14) by creating an 8 ½ x11 Valuation Notice self-mailer, using both front and back. This new format eliminated the need for paper, envelopes, and color toner supplies. Resulted in a tangible savings of $55,000. Betty Colwell , $68 and Nancy Killian , $68: Clerk of the Board --Proposed the use of un-embossed binders with slip-on metal label holders rather than embossed binders which are more costly. This reduced overall costs and maintains high quality professional appearance for archiving Board of Supervisors ’ Minutes pursuant to Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records standards. Resulted in a tangible savings of $682. (C-20-11-038-M-00)
