ITEM 5 PERSONNEL: Rafael Guerra—Retirement—Recognition of Service to the
City of North Augusta
Mayor Pettit recognized the retirement of Rafael Guerra and thanked him for 10 years of service
to the City of North Augusta.
Rafael Guerra has been a great asset as a heavy equipment operator in the storm water
management program for the past 10 years. During his time working for the city, he has always
been eager and prepared to do arty job that he was tasked with. He worked hard during extreme
heat, extreme cold and within extreme locations. He always did it with a good attitude and seemed
to truly enjoy accomplishing his job everyday. Many times he would take a photo of the storm
drain or ditch he was about to clear as a before photo. Then he would take the after photo and
send them both to his supervisor, so proud of the work he completed Rafael is proud of a hard
day of accomplishing goals. We thank him for that.
We are so happy that he has reached the highpoint of his work life, retirement. What a joy he will
C be to his family whom he clearly loves so dearly. We hope that he will enjoy the quality time he
has been hoping for with his mother and brother who have been ill and need his help in his home
country, El Salvador. His love forfamily is clear as he continuously stays in contact and shares
his wishes to be with them with coworkers here at the city. This is a testament to his character.
We wish you the best of luck Rafael, enjoy your retirement. Thank you for your service to the
citizens of North Augusta.
