Carbon County recognizes employee of the month and names Super Service Award winner

The Carbon County Commission opened its regular meeting with two staff recognitions, naming Kelly Taine employee of the month and awarding the May Super Service Award to Amanda Pies of Marketing Elevated.

Seth, a county staff member who nominated the clerk’s office team, praised Lori Perez, Jonna Marshall and recent hire Melissa Parker for steady work during a busy election season and day‑to‑day public service. “They’re like Swiss Army knives,” Seth said, adding the team “take a lot of beating and…do phenomenal work.”

Amanda Pies accepted the Super Service Award and described two decades working with local businesses and media. The presenter said Pies helps small businesses with social media and marketing training and called her “one of our number one ambassadors for tourism.” Pies thanked the commission and community for the recognition.

No formal action was required for either recognition; both were presented as part of the commission’s routine acknowledgments.
