Employee of the Month
February, 2006
Beth Leto
Beth Leto began her employment with Monroe County in June of 1983, in an
entry-level office position at the County Attorney's Office. Several promotions and 12
years later, she transferred to the Public Works Division as executive assistant to
Division Director Dent Pierce. In 1999, she was reclassified to her current position of
Sr. Administrator after assuming the duties of the former Public Works Accountant.
Beth keeps the Division running smoothly handling the entire Division's budgets,
setting up projects, preparing agenda items and preparing hurricane reimbursement
worksheets, which have been numerous lately! Because of her knowledge, skills and
abilities she can be left in charge of the Division in her Supervisor's absence. She
readily helps anyone needing assistance, whether it's something small or large, within
the Division or not. She was previously chosen as Employee of the Month for June of
1991, as well as the 1991 Employee of the Year.
Beth is a past member of the Employee Relations Committee and the Personnel
Policies and Procedures Board, and she has served as an alternate on the Sick Leave
Pool Committee for several years now. In 2003, she became a Certified Public
Manager.
In addition to all of this, and raising two teenagers with her husband, she is
currently working toward her Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration,
majoring in Management. Beth is an outstanding employee and an asset to
Public Works and Monroe County, and we are pleased to recognize her as
Employee of the Month for February, 2006.
