PERFORMANCE RECOGNITION AWARD
NOMINATION FORM
I nominate Martin Reeder, Assistant Plarmer for the Performance Recognition Award for
the following reasons:
1-11IMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT
Martin Reeder began his career in October 2003 as a Planning Technician. He was
promoted to Assistant Planner in November 2011. He holds a Bachelor degree in
Geography and just recently completed his Masters Degree in City Planning from San
Diego State University. Martin also received his American Institute of Certified Planners
(AICP) certification a few months ago. Martin's other qualification include his
experience in Wireless Communication facilities, his recent environmental certification
from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, his service on the local
Planning Board of Serra Mesa and he also occasionally lectures and leads field trips for
Geography and Planning students at San Diego State University. Martin has also been
instrumental in keeping our Planning Division going. We lost some key Planning
Division staff about a year ago but Martin stepped right in, and took over the work in
such a seamless fashion few even realized that there has been a major transition of staff.
Therefore with this type of resume and background one can see that Martin is highly
intelligent and a consummate professional. However, the sides that most don't see and
we at Development Services get to see is his artistic side (he plays in a band) and he is
totally funny side; the kind of dry humor that you don't know he has pulled a joke on
you after it is too late! To give you a taste, when I asked him for his bio, he sends all his
accomplishments and at the end under Personals he adds:
Loves to travel the world in pursuit of Charger games and new planning ideas for the
City
= Enjoys playing music, telling jokes, and jumping from perfectly good airplanes.
We are very fortunate to have Martin as a member of our team.
