[0:00] We can go from assigning people
to paint rooms to carpet,
[0:04] to repair air conditioners,
it is never the same thing every day.
[0:09] My name is Scott Anderson.
[0:10] I'm the facility's
maintenance supervisor.
[0:13] I have been since 2008.
[0:15] At one time, I was one of three
Scott Anderson's that worked at the city.
[0:19] We still have two. Our middle
initials are very important.
[0:22] In my current position,
I am in charge of 11 team members
[0:25] who take care of the physical structure
of, six main buildings, seven
[0:30] fire stations, and 20 plus park buildings
that we maintain throughout the year.
[0:36] I started working at the cemetery.
[0:37] summer of 85,
[0:38] I started to run the city garbage truck
when we used to do our own pickups.
[0:42] On October 1st was my 40th year
with the city.
[0:45] It was kind of a unique time
because I was married on September 28th.
[0:48] We went on a one day honeymoon,
[0:50] and then I started full time with the city
and have been here ever since.
[0:54] When I started here,
[0:55] we had an older gentleman
that had done blocklaying,
[0:58] bricklaying and concrete work.
And he kind of took me under his wing.
[1:02] And we actually built,
[1:03] in our fleet garage, the suite of offices
and mezzanine level and stuff.
[1:07] We had all the slabs, poured
[1:09] all the concrete to make this a, functioning
and operational, fleet garage.
[1:13] I’m three minutes away from work.
[1:15] It's fun too when your family says
[1:17] my dad takes care of that building.
[1:18] he did work on that one over there.
[1:20] My proudest moment probably is
when we were doing a walkthrough
[1:24] with outside architects
that came into City Hall
[1:27] and they said, wow, this building is new.
[1:29] And I said, well, no, it's 20 years old.
[1:31] And they said, wow, you guys have done
a great job taking care of it.
[1:34] And it's like, well, then I have assigned
the right people to take care of it.
[1:37] And they keep the place looking good.
[1:39] And that was probably
one of my proudest moments.
