A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ORANGE EXPRESSING APPRECIATION
TO PAM PROPST OF THE COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT FOR TWENTY -
TWO YEARS OF LOYAL AND DEDICATED
SERVICE.
WHEREAS, Pam Propst began her career with the City of Orange on August 21,
WHEREAS, initially, Pam was hired through an outside temporary agency for eight
months. She became a City employee in August 1989 as an Administrative Clerk I. In 1990,
she was promoted to a Public Services Clerk. By 1998, Pam was reclassified as a Permit
Technician and reclassified again in 2009 as a Senior Permit Technician.
WHEREAS, throughout her career in Orange, Pam has handled a fair share of the
more difficult and complex projects for the Building Division. She has significantly
contributed to issuing multifaceted permits for development projects such as the Chapman
University Braden Hall, Chapman University School of Film and Television, Archstcne
Gateway Apartments, Citrus Grove Apartments, Manchester Walk and Maple Walk, just to
mention a few.
WHEREAS, she has certainly lived up to her 1989 resume in which she writes "I
would be an asset to the City of Orange because of my ability to work well with the public
and fellow employees. I believe humor, understanding, and hard work go hand in hand in the
workplace."
WHEREAS, Pam has been an incredible asset to the City of Orange. She grew up in
the area and seemed to know many of the local customers. Her knowledge, resourcefulness,
and organizational skills have been exemplary. And beyond that, she always treats staff and
the public with enthusiasm, courtesy, humor, friendliness and genuineness. Her easy going
attitude and helpfulness with the public has been a great asset to the front counter.
WHEREAS, she will be especially missed in the Community Development
Department. She was always ready to share helpful medical and home remedy advice, be
that for a human or an animal. Pam was the mixology expert in the department and she was
known to enjoy a nice, cool cocktail on the weekends. She was the Heloise of cleaning ideas
and kept the office stocked with "Awesome" for every cleaning need. Her infectious laugh
would make you smile when you heard it.
WHEREAS, upon her retirement, Pam and her husband Bruce will be able to
continue their love of traveling in their recreational vehicle. She will also be able to spend
more time with her family and especially her two grandsons. And since she is a resident of
Orange, she will continue to be involved in the issues and concerns of the City.
WHEREAS, her outgoing personality will sincerely be missed. She has made
numerous friends and earned the respect of residents, contractors, architects, business owners
and all others doing business in Orange.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Orange that Pam Propst be congratulated for her more than 22 years of loyal and dedicated
service to the City of Orange.
