Recognizing the contributions and expressing appreciation to
Joseph Wellentin, Maintenance Technician
Whereas, Joseph Wellentin began his employment with the City of St. Louis Park on
December 14, 1998, and served over 26 years as maintenance technician for the Housing
Authority under the community development department; and
Whereas, Joseph performed all aspects of maintenance for the public housing
properties at Hamilton House and additional locations, responding quickly to work orders and
emergencies without complaining regardless of what the job entailed; and
Whereas, Joseph was instrumental in turning over units and took pride in the work that
he did to ensure public housing single family homes and apartment units were clean and
welcoming, thus providing a fresh start for hundreds of families who needed safe and
affordable housing; and
Whereas, Joseph was certified as an HCV inspector and diligently performed inspections
for the Housing Choice Voucher and Stable HOME programs all through St. Louis Park and the
greater metro area. Additionally, Joseph rose to the challenge of performing inspections
electronically and all his interactions were conducted with the utmost professionalism; and
Whereas, Joseph offered a friendly face, was approachable for residents and staff, and
always lent an ear to those who needed it. Joseph will be missed by all, as he takes with him
many years of institutional knowledge,
Now therefore be it resolved that the city council of the City of St. Louis Park,
Minnesota, by this resolution and public record, would like to thank maintenance technician
