"I’ve been with the city for the past 18 years. The people I have worked with have made it a pure joy. The fact that I get to do my job outside, especially when the weather is nice, is an added bonus. My job provides me the opportunity to interact with people from nearly every department within the city. In supporting the various city events, I pretty much encounter people from every walk of life. I like to think the small part I play in it all makes a difference."
- Charles Wade, Support Services Supervisor, Parks and Recreation

"The 24 years I have spent with the city of Glendale have been amazing. I am so pleased to be associated with the city during this period of growth and development. I deeply appreciate the opportunities that have been afforded me while working here. I have particularly enjoyed working with the staff and have met some remarkable people along the way. I have learned to always have humor in my life. I share that with my co-workers, and it helps when we are faced with hard times. I also keep in mind that each day is a gift; that the destination of where I am going is not as important as the journey."
- Sylvia Jaquez, Senior Secretary, Transportation

"Working in the Engineering Department as the City Engineer since 2001, and prior to that as Assistant City Engineer since 1988, has provided the opportunity to see Glendale grow from a community of 40,000 to more than 250,000. Because the Engineering Department is responsible for implementing all of the Capital Improvement Programs for the city, it has been personally fulfilling to see the many city projects come to fruition to support this growth. These projects support a vibrant and growing city, and it’s very satisfying to be a part of this progress and to work for such a great organization."
- Larry Broyles, City Engineer
