It's great to get letters of praise about our staff. It confirms my belief that we have some dedicated individuals out there who take their work of maintaining our parks and facilities to heart. A few days ago, I received the following letter from an Anne Flatte and Matthew Harrington, who live near Glen Park and were out at the park on Veterans Day:
“I would like to thank Parks and Rec and especially Joe Padilla for the immediate response and clean up to the anti-semitic graffiti in Glen Park Playground yesterday. Our family was planning to go to the park that day and I am very thankful that I and my children, ages 7 and 4, did not have to see such offensive hate graffiti on the playground. It means a lot to us that the city responded immediately to this crime, and we are glad that Parks and Rec takes it very seriously and took swift action. In particular, we are very grateful to Joe Padilla for coming in on a holiday to clean up the graffiti. It's people like Mr. Padilla doing the right thing that makes our community great. If you could forward him our thanks we would appreciate it.”
Joe Padilla heads our paint shop, and he and his crew spend much of their work hours painting over graffiti in our parks. If you’ve ever met Joe, you can tell just by looking at his paint-spattered work clothes that he’s serious about his job. He’s a walking Jackson Pollock painting!
