Milford Mayor Benjamin G. Blake honored the City Clerk's office for a job well done in light of difficult times as former City Clerk Linda Stock was out on medical leave while she battled cancer. Stock passed away in June. 

According to a press release, Blake wrote that the employees, BONNIE PELOSO, SUZANNE HORVATH, LAURA HUNT, BONNIE KULENYCH and ROSE ELLIOTT are recipients of the award for the Mayor’s Employee of the Month Program.

After a review of all of the nominations the Selection Committee unanimously selected this team as the winners for their outstanding performance during the extended absence and subsequent loss of Milford’s City Clerk, Linda Stock.  

The City Clerk’s office is a conduit between the citizens and government. It is necessary for the staff to work as a cohesive team. Under the best of circumstances it can be daunting to perform the multiple daily responsibilities as well as proficiently serve the needs of the general public.

As a team, the Clerks stepped up to the challenge before them and served the public and City departments in the most positive way.  Through their support of each other and by taking care of themselves in body, mind and spirit, they persevered in providing the exceptional service the City Clerk’s office is known for. 

As a team they continue to champion the causes implemented by Linda Stock. They have carried on the tradition of celebrating Annual Municipal Clerks Week and remind us all to celebrate our Veterans. Whenever needed, they put the word out and collect donations for such organizations as the Milford Food Bank, Animal Control, and Toys for Tots.

Bonnie, Laura, Bonnie, Suzanne and Rose are true testaments to the statement that there is no “I” in the word Team.  They demonstrated a high level of professionalism, teamwork, and positive attitude under this very difficult circumstance.  

The Mayor is most pleased to bestow this honor to Clerk’s for their outstanding work performance and continued service to the City of Milford.
