I would like to personally thank Valerie Starkey, Dean Wilson and the other members of the Board of Supervisors for Acknowledging my husband’s 31 years of service to the County of Del Norte. After a year had gone by since his retirement with not so much as a thank you from the County of Del Norte (for his 31 years of service),I contacted Valerie Starkey to see what she could do. Valerie came through with flying colors, Kennith was honored at a Board of Supervisors Meeting. Dean Wilson presented him with a certificate and a heartfelt speech about his years of working along side Kennith at the Sheriffs office. It is nice to have people on the Board of Supervisors who care about their job and actually follow through to get things done.. Thank you again Valerie Starkey, you made up for the Counties lack of caring about their Retirees.I really hope in the Future the County of Del Norte takes that one little step to make sure that all Retirees feel like they have been appreciated for all of their years of dedication. If this process is left in the department heads hands this is what happens and people are just passed over. There should be a standard practice for HR to have a certificate or something in the retirees packet thanking them or, like Kennith get an acknowledgment at a Board Meeting. Thank you again Valerie Starkey for showing us Del Norters that you care about us.Sincerely,#placement_573654_0_i{width:100%;max-width:550px;margin:0 auto;}var rnd = window.rnd || Math.floor(Math.random()*10e6);var pid573654 = window.pid573654 || rnd;var plc573654 = window.plc573654 || 0;var abkw = window.abkw || '';var absrc = 'https://ads.empowerlocal.co/adserve/;ID=181918;size=0x0;setID=573654;type=js;sw='+screen.width+';sh='+screen.height+';spr='+window.devicePixelRatio+';kw='+abkw+';pid='+pid573654+';place='+(plc573654++)+';rnd='+rnd+';click=CLICK_MACRO_PLACEHOLDER';var _absrc = absrc.split("type=js"); absrc = _absrc[0] + 'type=js;referrer=' + encodeURIComponent(document.location.href) + _absrc[1];document.write('');Corinne HigginsCrescent City googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('ad-1515727'); });
