Executive Committee

From:

Todd Muck, Executive Director

Meeting Date:

January 6, 2021

Subject:

Employee Incentive Award


RECOMMENDED ACTION:
APPROVE a cash incentive award of $150 to Mike Zeller for excellent performance above and beyond his regular duties.
SUMMARY:
The Transportation Agency for Monterey County's adopted employee incentive program makes available a single-event cash award for an outstanding performance on a particular project. The award requires approval by the Executive Committee.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The financial impact of this one-time cash award is $150.

DISCUSSION:

Management seeks Executive Committee approval to award this special incentive due to Mr. Zeller's dedication and commitment to the Transportation Agency for Monterey County during the past nine months.  Mike has played a key role in helping TAMC evolve into a nearly fully remote workplace during the COVID-19 crisis. He implemented a cloud-based data storage system before the shelter-in-place, contributing to our ability to transition. He not only led training sessions for Transportation Agency staff and Board members, he also assisted other agencies in learning how to hold public meetings remotely.  In fact, he was nominated for recognition by Monterey-Salinas Transit for a TAMC Excellence award, but staff members of the Agency are not eligible.  Mike has continued to support Agency staff to insure the team is working efficiently while being safe working from home.
