Congratulations to Ethan Winget, Pier 60 Operations Manager, on being named September 2024 Employee of the Month! Ethan recently went above and beyond when a young child wandered into the Pier 60 Bait House upset and unable to find his parents. After unsuccessful attempts to contact the child's family over the intercom, Ethan reassured the child and accompanied him on a search along the beach. After 30 minutes, Ethan successfully reunited the child with his family. Ethan’s calm demeanor, quick thinking and compassionate approach during a stressful situation exemplify the kind of superior public service that keeps our community safe and showcases our commitment to being a high-performing government. Thank you, Ethan, for your dedication and kindness to our residents and visitors. You make Clearwater thrive!
