Item 3B. Special Matters: Resolution of Appreciation for Chris Martin
Superintendent's Recommendation:
MOTION TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 26-09; A RESOLUTION OF APPRECIATION TO CHRIS MARTIN UPON HIS RETIREMENT FROM THREE RIVERS PARK DISTRICT.
Background:
Chris Martin started his career at Three Rivers as a GIS Coordinator in 2008. He was promoted to GIS Manager in 2010 and again to the Director of IT/GIS in May 2012. Throughout his 18-year career, Chris ushered the Park District into the digital era and set the organization up for long-term success.
With a passion for geography and GIS, some of Chris' most significant impacts can be seen in the implementation and use of GIS technology across Three Rivers. Under his leadership, our GIS program evolved from a fragmented group of independent users with disconnected data into a centralized, enterprise-grade program. Elements of Three Rivers' GIS efforts have received nation and international recognition.
His behind-the-scenes leadership style helped to build a strong team of IT, applications and GIS professionals that will continue to build on the foundation Chris laid. Together, Chris and his team implemented and managed all aspects of technology at Three Rivers, serving every staff member and the broader public. He made a significant impact on our technology infrastructure and GIS mapping products.
We are grateful for all that he accomplished during his time with the Park District and wish him the best in retirement.
