would be honoring three staff members who have 20 or more years of service with the City.
Among the three individuals being recognized tonight, they have a total of 65 years of
service to the City, and that only includes from their official full -time hire date. As you will
see, most of them worked part-time or volunteered with the City before being hired on full -
time. They have dedicated their lives to giving back to the community they hold near and
02 -04 -2014 Minutes Page - 2 -
dear to their hearts. With their hard work, they have each made monumental changes in their
respective fields that have helped shape where they are today.
The three honorees tonight have a common thread woven among them; they are all part of
our "Core Business" that is Public Safety. Two of our gentlemen have logged their time with
the Fire Department and the other is with the Police Department. Listening to them
remember stories from years ago proved to be very entertaining. From hearing about the
time a helicopter landed in the narrow margin of the parking lot of a carwash on FM 1518, to
a time where a rescue helicopter dumped fuel right on 11135 to be able to carry more people
from an accident scene, these guys have truly seen it all. They have also seen the technology
change tremendously through the years and have helped play an integral part in making sure
Schertz is at the forefront of where we need to be. Gone are the days of logging and
dispatching calls with rotary phones and chalkboards; we have the advanced CAD dispatch
system that does the work now. It is because of the vision and execution of these gentlemen
here that our City is a safer and better place to work, live and play.
Mr. Kessel stated when asked the question of their greatest accomplishments throughout their
careers, they responded:
Assistant Fire Chief Glen Outlaw stated "serving as the Emergency Management
Coordinator for 9 years and helping to get it to where it is today."
Police Dispatch Supervisor Ronnie Rutkowski stated "enhancing the dispatch system to
where it is today."
Battalion Chief Kirk Timke stated "working with his staff and developing them into the
leaders he knows they can be."
20 YEARS
Glen Outlaw — Full-Time Hire Date October 1, 1993
Assistant Fire Chief
Glen began his career in Schertz in 1989 with the Volunteer Fire Department. He moved
his family to this area because he was active duty Air Force at the time and the small
school system here appealed to him and his wife, Donna. He was hired by the City of
Schertz as a part-time fire inspector in October 1992 and was hired on full -time a year later
in October 1993. Glen worked his way up through the ranks and was promoted to Fire
Marshal in 1995 and then Assistant Chief in 2004. All the while he served as the City's
Emergency Management Coordinator from 2000 — 2009.
Glen is known for doing things by the books and though he's worked for 4 Fire Chiefs and
five City Managers throughout his tenure, he mentions he has always had the City Staff's
support and they have always stood behind him and his work. In the changing world of
City Code, inspections and compliance, Glen can proudly say that every year is better than
the last. Glen plans on retiring at the end of this year; he will have 21 years of City service
and 15 years as a Master Peace Officer under his belt at that time. He enjoys spending time
enjoying his hobbies of traveling in his motorhome, motorcycle riding and flying. Some
may not know that Glen is a licensed private pilot and is a member of a flying club in this
area. He jokingly states that after fueling up a plane, it makes you appreciate $3 gas!
02 -04 -2014 Minutes Page -3-
Coming from Chief David Covington, he has this to say about Glen:
"Glen likes to come across as gruff or mean, neither of which are true. Sorry Glen, your
secret's out. Even with coffee cups that say "I'm Crabby ", or "Make my day ", or the one
that looks like a grenade and asks you to pull the pin, he's really a softie at heart. In fact, I
think his greatest asset as Assistant Chief is just how much he really cares for his
firefighters. He will fight for them. Just mess with them and see. Glen does double duty as
Assistant Chief for the department while serving as the Fire Marshal for the City. Both jobs
are enormously important, and he juggles his time and efforts well. He's our lead on
anything to do with radios or CAD or gadgets. In fact some of the guys call him "Gadget."
Congratulations to him on achieving this milestone in serving the City and Citizens of
Schertz."
20 YEARS
Ronnie Rutkowski — Full -Time Hire Date October 7, 1993
Communications Manager — Police Department
Ronnie Rutkowski has been a member of Emergency Services in some form of fashion for
most of his adult life. He started with Schertz PD temporarily as a dispatcher in October
1991 and then went up the road to New Braunfels PD in 1993. He returned to Schertz and
was hired on full -time in October 1993. He was then promoted to Communications
Supervisor in October 1997, where his knowledge and impact have been evident over the
years. When Ronnie returned to Schertz PD full -time, he began his career here with a
vision; he set out to accomplish many things and with many years of hard work, he has
done so. He has increased staffing in dispatch (started out with one dispatcher with a paper
and pen to record the calls), computerized the place (got rid of the old key cards) and got
the dispatchers certified in the EMT training (a huge advantage when they are on calls as
they can help save lives too). With the way technology has grown tremendously, Ronnie
has seen it as a fun challenge to take on and improve the current way of doing things (for
example, he was instrumental in getting the computers in the patrol cars).
Coming from Lt. Mike Carey, he has this to say about Ronnie:
"When it comes to the area of dispatching no one is more knowledgeable than Ronnie
Rutkowski, be it telling you where to go or how to get there. Ronnie is one of those
individuals who can dispatch a call, answer 911, and drink his coffee without batting an
eye. No one is more qualified than Ronnie when it comes to radios and consoles we use,
he can take one down and put it back together and only have a few nuts and bolts left over.
For the serious side - Ronnie is an integral part of the 911 Dispatch Center and without him
it would be difficult to accomplish the task we face on a daily basis." Ronnie Rutowski is a
true asset to our City.
25 YEARS
Kirk Timke — Full-Time Hire Date October 15f,1988
Battalion Chief — Fire Department
02 -04 -2014 Minutes Page - 4 -
Kirk Timke is a long -time Schertz resident. He moved here in 1974 and is married to the
girl next door — literally (his parents live next door to hers). He began his career in the
Volunteer Fire Department. As the City was still working on getting full -time positions
together in the Fire Department, Kirk then worked part-time in the Water Department and
part-time in the Fire Department. During this time he was part of the crew that laid nearly
5 miles of water line on Ware - Seguin Road during the summer (aka "the Cantu line "). He
recalls how they would work from 6:00 am — 7:00 pm during that time to get the project
accomplished. His full -time career with Schertz Fire started in 1988. He mentions that a
quality one needs to have as a firefighter is to be a quick learner — "get good or get gone"
as he says. Kirk can proudly say that he is the first person to work 25 years in his
department. Kirk worked his way up through the ranks and is currently shift commander
on the A Shift. He jokes that "if you hang out long enough, they either gotta get rid of you
or promote you!"
Kirk has been there for the monumental changes in the Fire Department; when they went to
24/7 on October 15t, 1993 for example. He has worked on fire trucks for 27 years and has
played a key part on being on the truck selection committee, providing the valuable
expertise during its construction. To him though, what's most important about his job are
the guys. He likes the opportunity to see the potential in everyone there and then be able to
take them to the next level with his encouragement and leadership. His number one
priority is to make sure that the guys get home safe to their families. Kirk is guiding the
next level of leaders in this department and does so with pride.
Coming from Chief David Covington, he has this to say about Kirk:
"Kirk is our first firefighter to complete 25 years with the department. That makes him the
"old man" of suppression, although he is most certainly young at heart. Kirk is a most
valuable asset to have around because he makes you think. You see, Kirk likes to argue,
and I don't mean that in a bad way. Not at all. He challenges you to think through
consequences and alternatives before moving forward, and that is good thing. I know
sometimes he does it just to mess with me, but it's still fun, and productive. I can only
imagine the logic that is discussed when he and Glen go to their regular "breakfast
meetings" together. Certainly, with 25 years of dedication to Schertz Fire Rescue, Kirk
deserves the recognition as a firefighter and leader."
Mayor Carpenter recessed the meeting at 6:49 p.m., for photo opportunities and congratulations.
Mayor Carpenter reconvened the meeting at 6:55 p.m., and moved to the Hearing of Residents
section of the agenda.
