The Team Quarterly Recognition Program is an effort within the city honoring a group of city employees that exemplifies the city’s vision, mission, values and priorities through exceptional team work and outstanding performance.

A group of employees with the city’s Purchasing and Contracts Division will be recognized as Team of the Quarter during the ceremonial portion of tomorrow’s Las Vegas City Council meeting, which will take place at 9 a.m. in City Hall council chambers, located at 400 Stewart Ave.
 
The Team of the Quarter is comprised of a group of purchasing professionals who have embraced the city’s goals to manage costs and be more efficient. Working closely with experts in other city departments the Purchasing and Contracts team has saved the city more than $1.5 million so far this fiscal year.

Councilman David W. Steinman will recognize 50 students from the Meadows School for their hard work in earning the Great American Pride Award.

Councilman Steven D. Ross will recognize Republic Services Recycling Robot Program, which utilizes technology to get children interested in recycling. Councilman Ross will also recognize the June Citizen of the Month.

Councilwoman Lois Tarkanian will recognize Clark High School Principal Ronnie Smith for his work in the community and contributions to education.
 
Finally, the City Council will also recognize outstanding high school scholar-athlete Dannielle Diamant, who recently won the Pearl D. Mazor Award from the National Jewish Sports Hall of Fame.
