Meet Milford Employees of the Month, Members of Public Works Department

Congratulations to Brian Gilronan, Todd Haight and Mark Robinson team members within the Department of Public Works for being selected as Employees of the Month for September 2018.

As the recipients of the award for the Mayor’s Employee of the Month Program, please join us in extending warm congratulations to this team in receiving this recognition.  After a review of all of the nominations the Selection Committee chose this team from the Highway/Parks and Garage Divisions within the Department of Public Works as the winners for their dedicated service, teamwork and willingness to always go above and beyond expectations. 

Brian was hired as a Truck Driver/Laborer on May 10, 2010.  On October 31, 2011 he became a Truck Driver; on January 26, 2015 he became a Maintainer, and since March 4, 2017, he has been working

as a Truck Driver/Laborer.  Todd began his employment with the city on November 22, 1999 as a Truck Driver/Laborer and as of May 28, 2001, he has been working as a Truck Driver.  Hired on        February 14, 2005, Mark works for the city in the capacity of Automotive Mechanic, maintaining and servicing all of Milford’s municipal vehicles.

Brian, Todd and Mark perform their individual job responsibilities with great skill, professionalism and dedication.  Their skills and dedication were called upon when the flagpole and flag on the city green

were damaged during Nor’easters that impacted the city.  Without hesitation, Brian and Todd set about to restore the American flag and repair the halyard on the flagpole.  Also severely damaged was the eagle that sits atop the flag pole.  Thought to be beyond repair, with adept skill, Mark reconstructed the eagle.   With Brian, Todd and Mark going above and beyond the call of duty, the restoration was done in time for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, and the American flag flies in all its glory with the eagle majestically atop the Milford green flag pole – the tallest in the State of Connecticut.

These are just a few of the many reasons the Mayor extends his sincere congratulations and appreciation to Brian, Todd and Mark.

Again, congratulations to them!
