Harford County Department of Administration employees David Kahl and Mark Johnson have been named the Harford County Employees of the Month for October. Both men work in Facilities and Operations with the Department of Administration.
The two men were recognized for their creative and helpful skills. A huge tree at the Havre de Grace branch of the Harford County Public Library system was damaged by Hurricane Sandy. There was a big pile of mulch once it was removed. Kahl and Johnson created a flower bed out of the mulch pile.
"We are thrilled with the creation. The flowers are lovely and add a wonderful touch to the front lawn. We are so appreciative of their work," Irmgarde Brown, branch manager with Harford County Public Library, said.
Brown nominated the two men for the award. She credits them with thinking outside the box in a lovely manner. The library was also fortunate to find someone to water the flowers each day.
