Senior Account Clerk Sharon Rodrigues - . Every capitol improvement project and neighborhood improvement project has been accounted for through your reliable and accurate work as a senior accountant for our Public Works Department. When an engineer needs to find out whether he is on budget or over budget he asks you. When a Deputy Public Works Director needs to find money to give one of the projects the last finished touch, you will be able to point him in the right direction.
   This year, in addition to these very challenging and demanding duties, you worked on the overall budget for the Public Works Department, and, as usual, demonstrated your usual talents such as reliability, accuracy, timeliness, and creativity.
   Above and beyond all of your duties with the department, you also do a lot for MCEA, organizing a bake sale with Kathy Smith, meeting with David Nannie or organizing the annual Holiday Party. You can always be counted on.
