Waynesville mayor honors public servants, urges employees to complete survey

The mayor of the Town of Waynesville recognized Public Service Recognition Week this week, praising municipal employees for their everyday work and asking staff to take part in an all‑employee survey.

"I wanted to commend each of you for what you do," the mayor said, telling employees that their committed work "makes the town's mission possible." The mayor thanked staff for their dedication and said the workforce is the town's greatest strength.

The mayor asked employees to complete the town's all‑employee survey as a way to share feedback with town leadership. "I encourage each of you to complete the all-employee survey," the mayor said, adding, "thank you and I hope you have a blessed day." The mayor did not specify a deadline or the survey's topics.

No formal actions, votes, or policy changes were proposed during the remarks; the address was limited to recognition and a request for staff participation in the survey. The mayor framed the comments as appreciation for public service and as an invitation for employees to provide input that could inform town operations.
