Record Group
Identifier: 9382-00
The Suggestion Award Board was established in 1951 to encourage employee suggestions for efficiencies and safety devices that would result in monetary savings for the City. Submitted suggestions were forwarded to the appropriate department for review and then reported back to the Board. If a suggestion was adopted and implemented, the responsible employee would receive ten percent of the projected annual savings. The Board was comprised of representatives from various City departments and was staffed by the Personnel Department. The Suggestion Award Program was discontinued in 1997 and replaced with the Seattle Works! Excellence Program.
