DAVID RENSHAW
EMPOYEE OF THE MONTH
SEPTEMBER 2006
In November of 1981, David Renshaw was hired as an entry level Mechanic and has
since served the Plantation Key Public Works Facilities as Lead Mechanic/Jack Of All Trades.
For the past 25 years, Mr. Renshaw has given all he's had to give, while working with
Fleet Management, Public Works, and Monroe County.
Per his immediate supervisors and department heads, he is truly one of the most
remarkable and committed of all County employees. One was quoted as saying, "If there is
anyone who believes service to Monroe County government is the highest career call", that
without a doubt, would be Mr. Renshaw.
He will always stop what he's doing to help others and he will never turn down any
individual, department, or agency when called upon.
He has been known to go out of his way, on his own time to raise money for those that
may be less fortunate.
He will come in early, work thru lunch, and/or go home late, whatever it takes to get the
job done.
It is a fact that he can not pass up someone broken down on the side of the road without
stopping to assist.
On at least one occasion after a hurricane, he ignored the trees that had fallen on his own
home while assisting the County for many days with their clean up instead.
On several occasions, after voluntarily assisting the County's Upper Keys Animal
Shelter, Mr. Renshaw adopted an unwanted mother cat, a litter of kittens and number of older
dogs, because the dogs' time were up and he thought the mother and litter would be better off
together with a good home.
Mr. Renshaw is an employee who always has the maximum balance of vacation leave
allowed and usually has approximately 1500 hours of sick leave available.
His department director wrote it would take much more time than available to thoroughly
document the sincere honesty, dedication, and hard work of this individual, so I will close by
telling you that no month goes by that we couldn't justify David Renshaw as Monroe County's
Employee of the Month.
