Consideration of Resolution 2018-24 Commending Kathy Neus for
Her Many Years of Service
SPECIAL BUSINESS
1. WHY THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE BOARD
It is in the Board's purview to adopt District resolutions.
2. HISTORY
Kathy Neus started her career here at the District in October of 1988, as a meter
reader. As Kathy worked her way up through the ranks, she held the positions of
Water Tech in Training, Support Services Manager, Technical Programs Manager,
ending with Special Projects Manager.
In 2007 Kathy earned her Mechanical Engineering degree from the University of
Nevada Reno. As the Special Projects Manager, Kathy's duties have included
property management, facility management, solar program management, and District
security.
Kathy has been a valuable resource to the District, it's customers, and the community
as a whole. Her expertise as a project manager has been in high demand through the
years, and was recently publicly displayed with the Administration Lobby remodel. This
project had a plethora of moving parts and human disruptions, which Kathy
successfully juggled and completed.
3. NEW INFORMATION
Kathy's institutional knowledge and work ethic has left a mark on the District and will
be missed. Kathy's legacy can be summed up best by what people say about her.
"Kathy's professionalism is top notch, I give her five stars."
"Kathy is tenacious and has been fiercely loyal to the District. On occasion I
find myself saying, "oh, that is who does that, she does it all."
"Kathy has been an invaluable partner and unrelenting advocate for the
TDPUD. Her local knowledge and insight will be truly missed."
"Kathy always has the District best interest in hand. She treats all employees
fairly and with respect."
"Kathy and I have worked together for over 23 years. We have a working
relationship like siblings! More like a family unit, and she will be sorely missed."

General Manager
