The Franklin County Commissioners proudly presented the May 2024 Employee of the Month award to Anthony Merletti.
Anthony has been employed by Franklin County since December 2012 and serves as a network and applications
administrator with the county’s information technology services department. May’s Employee of the Month recipient was
determined by the Special Thanks and Recognition (STAR) Committee, which received 32 nominations for the May award,
12 of which were for Anthony.
“Anthony consistently demonstrates excellent customer service to whomever he is helping,” said one nomination. “He is
attentive and friendly with those services, he asks questions to better understand the issue, and he works tirelessly to make
sure the problem is resolved to their satisfaction. It sounds like he’s doing what he should be doing, but he excels in his
customer service skills.”
The nomination continued, “In addition, Anthony goes above and beyond to help his department navigate the unknown
and he steps up in times of a heavy workload. Anthony takes on new projects without complaint and with enthusiasm to
achieve a successful outcome. He has a stellar work ethic, performs tasks with the utmost professionalism and courtesy, and
continuously demonstrates leadership qualities. I am fortunate to have Anthony on our team.”
“A.J. is an asset to the IT department,” said another coworker. “He is a consistent performer, dependable, accessible and
responsive. A.J.’s personality shines and working with him is enjoyable and productive. While A.J. may not have performed heroic
to keep our operations functioning. A.J. is truly a hidden gem that deserves recognition for his years of service and dedication.”
Anthonys outstanding characteristics are attributes that have not gone unnoticed by his peers. He is described as a team
player as well as helpful, resourceful, responsive, positive, knowledgeable, personable and dedicated.
The Franklin County Commissioners congratulated Anthony on his recognition and thanked him
for his excellent work and for exuding such a high standard of knowledge, leadership and excellence
to the employees and residents of Franklin County.
