The candidates this year are Kent Oliver and Roberta Stevens. Denyvetta also participated in the Resume Review Service. Reviewers provide feedback and suggestions to job seekers, helping them make their resumes stand-out and to become stronger candidates in the job market.
Ric Rea stated the general access door code for employees has not been changed since the Downtown Library opened in 2004. Additionally, employees were also given special access codes for other doors in the building which they may or may not need access to. Recently Human Resources became aware that there are customers who have been given the code as well as various employees still have the code, since it has not been changed. Ric suggested the general access code be changed as well as have each department come up with their own code for other areas not considered as general access. Discussion followed. Ric will meet with Linda Hyams to work on a solution and if any departments would like to make code changes, they should contact Linda.
