Have you ever had a day when you end up working on something you didn’t expect?
I had one of those days today.
One of our long term employees decided to change his employer and go to work for another community. This is not just any employee, but someone who wore many hats for us here in the City of Flags.
Dennis Miller has held many responsibilities under his hat for the almost eleven years he put into the City of Davison. I am happy for Dennis, because I never want to hold a person back from doing what they want or need to do. I also think Dennis will be an asset to the community he is going.
Dennis was in charge of our Building Department and has done all our plan reviews, plus performed the city’s inspections. He was also our chief code enforcement official. Dennis was in charge of out Planning Department and was the staff to our planning commission.
Wait… There is more. Dennis was our Assessor and did all our assessing duties.
And remember Y2K. Well the city turned to Dennis and made him our technical computer guy to keep us safe from certain doom. He also designed and was responsible for keeping our web site up to date.
As you might ascertain, Dennis helped the city to become what it is.
Dennis, to me was also a great sounding board. I could bounce things off him and know I was getting his perspective. I valued that.
Another thing Dennis was instrumental in was the re-establishment of the “Tippy Open”, the City’s annual Golf Outing.
You know, I am probably forgetting some items here, but now I have to get to work figuring out who is going to do all what Dennis did.
Congratulations Dennis, and thanks for the dedicated efforts to make Davison Davison.
