County Legislature Recognizes Outstanding Employee with Excellence Award
Hauppauge, NY - September 8, 2017 - Suffolk County Presiding Officer DuWayne Gregory and Legislator Al Krupski congratulate Building Maintenance Manager Judd Classie, a resident of Ridge, on being presented the Employee Excellence Award for the month of September.
Mr. Classie, who began his career in the Suffolk County Department of Public Works in 1995, has risen through the ranks throughout his years in the department. He provides maintenance services to all buildings within the North County Complex and continually steps up to provide needed repairs and services, no matter the time of day or job to be undertaken, according to DPW Commissioner Gilbert Anderson.
“Over the last three years Judd has saved the county more than half a million by doing work and projects in-house. He provides the best services and savings for the department,” says Commissioner Anderson.
Presiding Officer DuWayne Gregory said that Judd is an exemplary employee and is representative of the team players that make up the Suffolk County workforce. “We are eternally grateful to Judd and other employees in Suffolk County whose expertise and work ethic is vital to ensuring this county runs smoothly. He is very deserving of this award.”
“We don’t often think about the effort that goes into maintaining county properties until something goes wrong, but we are grateful to the men and women who spend their days making our work environments safe and comfortable,” said Legislator Krupski. “I am glad I had the opportunity to join Presiding Officer Gregory in recognizing Mr. Judd to thank him for his dedicated service to Suffolk County.”
The Employee Excellence Award was instituted by Presiding Officer Gregory this year as a way to recognize employees who go above and beyond their duties. Nominations can be submitted to Presiding Officer Gregory’s office.
