>> good morning, judge and members of the court. I'm linda morris smith, director of human resources. This particular day is an 11th annual event where we recognize the services of employees within Travis County. It's always an exciting one for the human resources department, and in particular carol insteadler, who coordinates the services for today. What we have before you today is an opportunity to recognize employees who have actually served Travis County in three different categories, 20 years of service, 25 years of service as well as 30 years of service. The total that you will see today, invited today, represents 67 employees, all of them have been invited. Not sure if we have each and every one of them present. Throughout Travis County, though, it's important for us to recognize that although you're seeing 67 or so today awarding the service pins swltion the certificates, we actually have 496 employees who have been recognized at the department level for five years of service, 10, as well as 15 years of service. Our tenure among the workforce is very good and we're glad few that because year not dealing with a lot of turnover. So we're real pleased to you to represent the employees who will be recognized for 20, 25 and 30 years of service today.
