BACKGROUND:
Ben Solis started with the City of Farmers Branch February 24, 2004 as a Park Technician I. Since then he has been promoted to Crew Leader and that is the position he holds today.
We celebrate this day that represents 15 years of dedicated service and achievement. Ben has proven to be a hard-working and very dependable employee who is knowledgeable and organized. These qualities bring great ideas that the department has utilized to increase efficiency and effectiveness of its operations. One of those ideas won an award at the state professional organization, the Texas Recreation and Parks Society. This group gave Ben an award because his idea created improvements to mowing equipment that increased efficiencies.
Ben truly enjoys what he does and pours himself into the job every day. He has played key roles in major projects that include Rose Garden Installations, Aquatic Center Landscape Installation, Rotary Club Playground Installation and most recently he assisted in the installations of a concrete walkway and two boardwalks at The Grove. Although these were important projects, where Ben shines is what he does day to day maintaining his areas at a high level and leading his crew to many successes. Ben makes it a priority to interact with the public to provide quality customer service and as a result, has gained many friends within this community.
Ben and his wife Trisha are proud parents of two sons Jeremy and Chad that have gone on to become successful men who are following Ben’s example in their own lives and communities. They are all huge TCU sports fans and frequently attend horned frog games and events cheering on their team.
Ben is a great team member and we appreciate his years of dedicated service.
