Body
BACKGROUND:
Linda Gaucin began her employment with the City on June 12, 2004. Linda is the Administrative Assistant III for the Parks and Recreation Department. To be good in this capacity, and she is very good, one must be equal parts Ring Master, Juggler, and Fire Fighter. Linda takes care of the administrative needs of six divisions of the department, works extensively with the public, and handles the needs of various boards and board members. Linda works with divisional and departmental budgets, purchasing, personnel, training, customer service, and facility rental.
Linda is often the first person that visitors meet when coming to the departmental offices at City Hall. She greets visitors with friendly enthusiasm and sets the tone for positive encounters. Linda is a team player who serves extensively at special events and works after hours to support meetings and other activities at City Hall and elsewhere as needed.
Linda is a consistent and hardworking team member who does her job well. Her consistent proficiency has a ripple effect allowing the rest of the team to be more efficient and better at their jobs.
Linda lives in Carrollton and her mother Frances decided to spend her retirement years in Texas and now lives with Linda. Linda’s son Brandon is 34 years old and lives in Phoenix, AZ. Linda is a Texas Rangers fanatic attending and watching as many games as possible. She enjoys going to Winstar Casino and traveling to Seattle and Phoenix to visit family
