Building & Public Works Departments receive Executive Director Award 

On April 11, 2008, Cheryl White will be proud to present the City of Medford’s Department of Public Works and it’s Building Department with the Executive Director award.  These men and women go far and above the duties of their positions whenever the Chamber calls upon them.  In the past we could not have had any of the community events that our Chamber sponsors or participates in without their cooperation.  The Building and Public Works Departments has provided Herculean assistance to the Chamber in events such as Clippership Day, the Duck Race, hanging banners from the light posts in the Square, lighting trees for the holiday season, answering questions on sign ordinances building variances permits, to providing electrical power for our activities at times of need.  Our dedicated City employees have never said “no” to any request we have made of them.  For these reasons, we salute them.
