 Next I'd like to call up Russ Schreiner. Russ began his employment with the city of Sheboygan and the Sheboygan Police Department in August of 1993 and without a doubt he is one of the best hires that the city's ever made. Russ's last day will be with the city will be this Friday January 8th of 2021. His accomplishments as the communication electronics technician for the department city and county are too numerous to list but Russ assured every major communications and data project in the city and the county for the last 27 years has been led by Russ. The first mobile data system, the city-wide wireless mesh system, the new police and fire stations, county-wide digital radio system, the combined dispatch center, and the voice over internet protocol phone system and the list goes on. If that's not enough Russ has also held leadership positions on county and state committees and looked on any project that needed his help without a complaint. Well, without too much of a complaint. He has served as the police department's own MacGyver. There's nothing that he couldn't fix with a nail cutter, a toothpick, and a Band-Aid. Russ is truly the guy who could do it all even serving as the department bugler for a while. Wow. His dedication and commitment to the city and incredible work ethic was noticed by all. He has been twice selected as the police department's civilian employee of the year and was also recognized with the citizen awards by the Sheriff's Department. He's easy-going, kind and caring personality in combination with a healthy sense of humor has endeared him to all of us. Chief Tom Magalski mentioned that he is grateful for all the technical advice and counsel that Russ has provided over the years. His knowledge and skill have been invaluable to the department. His ability to learn and keep us current and ahead of the curve and communications field as technology has continued to advance. Russ has always had the safety of our personnel as main priority and has left an amazing legacy in the city of Sheboygan. Russ has shared that he's grateful to have the opportunity to work for the city and county in Sheboygan and to have the opportunity to work with all the city employees. He asks that I share his gratitude and respect for the city's employees and the work that they do and he's grateful for the support that he's been given. Lastly he wants all of you to know the importance of the work done by the city and the police department that motivates him to come to work every day and do what he can to help make their jobs easier. Russ, on behalf of the city, we're thankful for your 27 years of service and your positive conscience that you made to the police department in the city of Sheboygan. Please accept our best wishes for a happy retirement. And I'd like to present this certificate of appreciation to Russell Shiner. The certificate of appreciation is in recognition of your 27 years of dedicated service from August 30th of 1993 through January 8th of 2021. Congratulations, Russ. Well, thank you very much. You know, one thing one does when you come to retirement age is kind of reflect back on on time. I happened to go through a few pictures in my office and found that I really did have dark hair when I started this job. Now, I have to admit, I don't think it was from the stress of the job. But I spent 23 years in the basement of City Hall. We had no windows down there. So I think really that was what happened. But really, I want to thank you, Mr. Mayor, and all the past mayors and city administration and all the department heads in the city and county that I that I was able to work with and work for. Chief Tom Logowski and Chief Montanano and the past chiefs that I worked under. And, you know, all the other department heads, fire chiefs, other police chiefs in the county. Certainly, the employees that I and coworkers that I work with, they they really made me a better person and and helped me to succeed. And I want to thank my immediate supervisor, also Captain Cobb, and all my past supervisors. And it's been a good, a good run. And I thank you. And I would be remiss if I didn't thank another very important person in my life. And that would be my wife, Martha, and my family for their support, especially on those nights when something would go wrong and we'd have to come in and and take care of some critical system. But again, thank you very much. And I'll just I'll just leave this going forward. I plan to if I want to use a few technical terms, I'm going to spend a little more higher frequency, having fun and relaxation. But I will stay in tune with all my my associates and coworkers. So thank you very much. Appreciate it. Russ, I want to know who's going to be the Blue Santa next year. Are you going to still come back for that? I'll always I'll always let that open. Thank you much, Russ.
