 Greencastle Mayor Sue Murray administers the oath of office for the new city Superintendent of Public Works Brad Phillips. [Click to enlarge] |
Brad Phillips, who stepped into the position on June 20, was officially sworn in on Tuesday.
Phillips began working for the city in 1989. He has been the assistant superintendent of public works for nine years.
"I love the job," Phillips said. "I love working outside and working with people. I like correcting problems … I enjoy fixing things."
Phillips has lived in Greencastle all his life. He graduated from Greencastle High School in 1979. He and his wife have two sons, Caleb, 12, and Cody, 7.
"They support me and it really means a lot to me," Phillips said.
Phillips also has the support of his city co-workers.
"(Phillips) not only knows our roads, streets and citizens well, but is certified to operate all equipment in the department and has a good working relationship with the staff, as was evidenced when three (staff members) finished an assigned project early so they could stop at city hall on their way back to the department to witness his swearing-in ceremony," said Greencastle Mayor Sue Murray. "Brad stepped into the role as interim superintendent when Paul Wilson resigned from the position in June. I am delighted that Brad has decided to take on the responsibility permanently."
Good luck Brad! You have some big shoes to fill.
I can't understand why people call Vet. Highway Memorial TREES?? Those TREES all have names of people that has and still is serving our country!!! They are NOT just TREES, and I think it should be kept up and NOT forgotten!! Obviously you don't have some one very special there!! And you make it sound like that is the only thing Mr. Wilson did, you are so wrong!
Good Luck and Great Success with your position. I hope we can see some real work is accomplished. The trees are nice but TOO Much Time has been spent on that kind of project! I have noticed some curb painting on Washington St. Now if we can see some usage of the street sweeper downtown and around besides the few places it sweeps? Thank You for all of your years of work with the city.
