In an effort to recognize the hard-working personnel of the City of Cape May, Manager Paul Dietrich continues a city-wide recognition program to honor “employees of the month”. The objective is to recognize employees who show exemplary individual achievement, contribution, and performance in their jobs. These individuals consistently exhibit a positive and supportive attitude and make contributions beyond the usual expectations of their employment.

Peers can nominate each other, building a stronger comradery amongst the workforces. Management, Department Heads, and Supervisors are not eligible to be nominated, allowing recognition to solely focus on the hard-working City employees that make the City a success daily.

Under the authorization of the City Manager, the Employee of the Month Committee consists of voluntary Supervisors from each Department who will review nominations and select the winner for each month.

Code Enforcement Officer William (Bill) Miller III has been recognized for the month of March 2024. Bill started with the City in September 2021. He is known amongst his fellow co-workers as reliable and doing more than what is expected. He works well with other departments in the City, keeping staff informed of updates that may affect their office.

Bill goes above and beyond to assist our residents and guests. With his office located on the first floor of City Hall by the front doors, he is always helping visitors navigate the building to find the correct office. He is especially helpful when assisting guests with the handicap entrance and elevator. He has gone so far as to hand deliver a tax bill to a property owner who did not receive the letter in the mail and was unable to come to City Hall to pick it up.

Having the position of Code Enforcement Officer is not always the easiest, however, Bill’s dedication to his job and providing immediate resolutions to complaints and issues brings a sense of appreciation to the Department. He always has a positive attitude and the City is grateful for his hard work.
