COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
OCTOBER 21, 1987
APPROVE EMPLOYEE SERVICE AND RETIREMENT RECOGNITION AWARDS PROGRAM
NC).
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council, by motion action, approve an
employee service and retirement recognition awards program, -:id allocate 53,000
from the contingency fund to implement this program.
For many years, the City of Lodi has had a recognition program to honor and
recognize employees for their loyal and dedicated service. The present program
provides for the presentation of service pins from the tenth year and at each
five-year increments thereafter.
At.the ..sug.gestion of the City Manager, a study was made as to alternate
programs that are available.
Based on information obtained in this study I am pleased to make the following
recommendations regarding the City of Lodi employee recognition program:
I. That the City of Lodi continue to provide employee service
awards from the tenth year and at each five-year increments
thereafter.
I1. That the 0. C. Tanner design No. 7-5852 (2) be selected as the
official city emblem for service awards. (See Exhibit A attached)
II1. That the city emblem be jeweled, designating years of service
as follows:
a) Ten ye&r - one garnet (I am recommending the garnet as
the color lends itself more closely to the Tokay Grape
than does a ruby)
b) Fifteen year - two garnets
c) Twenty year - three garnets
d) Twenty-five year - two garnets and a diamond (placed G D G)
e) Thirty year - one garnet and two diamonds (placed D G D)
f) Thirty-five year - three diamonds
g) Forty year - four diamonds

IV. That a mix of awards be selected for each five year increment.
Further, that a dollar limit be established for the purchasing
of awards in each five year increment. Each award is to bear
the city emblem jeweled as listed above.
It is recommended that the following dollar limit be established
for the purchase of service awards:
Ten years of service - $20.00
Fifteen years of service - $30.00
Twenty years of service - $140.00
Twenty Five years of Service - $50.00
Thirty years of service - $60.00
Thirty-five years of service - $75.00
Forty years of service - $100.00
It should be noted that, in addition to the costs listed above, there
would be the cost of the city emblem and the appropriate jeweling.
The average cost of an emblem, including jeweling, depending on the
number and types of jewels, would be as follows:
Emblem with one garnet - $50.00
Emblem with two garnets - $55.00
Emblem with three garnets - $60.00
Emblem with two garnets and one diamond - $205.00
Emblem with two diamonds and a garnet - $245.00
It should be noted that there is a one-time die charge of $465.00.
The base price of emblems is based on gold at $309.00 per ounce. The
final gold price is determined by the closing price of gold on the
New York market the day the order is received in Salt Lake City, Utah.
V. That employees retiring after fifteen years of service be
honored in the following way:
Fifteen to twenty-four years of service:
That an amount of one hundred dollars be budgeted for an appropriate
gift for the retiree.
