Springfield Employee Recognition: Joe Sarno

Sarno secured FEMA money for winter storm costs

Six Springfield Employees were recognized for their service to the Township at a morning “Mugging event” this week.

Township Administrator Anthony Cancro gave six employees—including three retirees—with superlative service records mugs in recognition of their on-the-job achievements. The municipal employees recognized included library employees, police officers and maintenance workers. Before presenting the mugs, provided by Investor’s Savings Bank, Cancro spotlighted how each employee earned the recognition, and thanked them each for “going the extra mile.”

Patch will highlight each employee recognized in the Mugging Event.

In December of 2010, a severe snowstorm hit the area. Governor Chrisie proclaimed the day a major disaster, and permitted the Township to be reimbursed for expenses. Sarno put documentation together for police, fire, the office of emergency management and public works.

“Thanks to Joe’s efforts and his impeccable record keeping, we were approved to $75,652.89 in reimbursement from FEMA,” Cancro said.
