August 2020 Employee of the Month - Shannon Hoffman

Administrative Services Department-Shannon Hoffman

Shannon Hoffman is our Administrative Services Director and City Treasurer and has been employed by Santaquin City for nearly 21 years. She has direct responsibility over all aspects of human resources from personnel recruitment to payroll and benefits administration and everything in-between.  She also has supervisory and budgetary responsibility over the administration, utility billing, cemetery, and government building departments; as well as the Santaquin, Genola, and Goshen Justice Courts. 

During her time with Santaquin City, Shannon has worked for five mayors and numerous council members.  She has been, and continues to be, a voice of wisdom, integrity, and institutional knowledge for our elected leaders as they have assumed their leadership roles on the council.  She is truly respected as a leader within our organizations in her quiet and humble way.  She is always willing to serve, always willing to volunteer, and always willing to share her voice in support of each and every member of our city staff. 

Shannon is greatly appreciated by the clerks she supervises, and she backfills her staff as needed.  Her personnel work, and her departmental administrative support, makes the work of every other department of the city possible.  All the employees in the city know they can turn to her with human resource questions, and that their problems will be kept confidential. Shannon works tirelessly to ensure the needs of every member of our city staff and their families, from our police officers to firefighters and from our building inspectors to recreational staff. Each are taken care of with the utmost professionalism. 

Shannon started her career in government at Spanish Fork City as a utility billing clerk and then receptionist in the engineering department. A little more than five years later, she joined Santaquin City as our City Treasurer.  During that time, she has worked in various supervisory roles and has grown in her career as she consistently exhibited a strong work ethic and servant leadership style.   

Shannon shared that the best part of her job is the people she works with. She genuinely likes her fellow employees and the residents of the city. Shannon and her high school sweetheart husband Drew have lived in Santaquin for the past 21 years and they have three beautiful daughters.

Thank you, Shannon, for being a great example to all our staff and citizens with your dedicated service. You deserve this recognition.
