Cliff Savage

Public Works Department

Cliff Savage started working for the Public Works Department as a Refuse Driver on January 3, 2006.   From the beginning, Cliff has been a very dependable and dedicated employee with a consistently positive attitude and he takes great pride in his job.

Cliff is always willing to assist others and promotes team work at all times. He often reports to work early, works overtime, and Holidays when necessary.  Cliff is flexible and he adapts well to change, as is evident in the fact that he can and will operate all the different vehicles in the refuse fleet from the front end loaders to the forklift.  He currently operates a side loader on the residential routes.  Cliff enjoys running all the different equipment and thinks it’s fun to work, which may be why he’s had a 100% attendance record every year since beginning work for the City.  

He is an avid Ram’s fan and also enjoys golf, baseball and fishing.  Cliff has been married to April for the past 21 years, and they have three daughters, Heather, Stephany and Cynthia.
