On Aug. 21, the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners recognized Montillo “Scott” Desquotte for 25 years of service.
Desquotte was hired by the Roads and Bridges Department as a maintenance worker in 1999. In less than a year, he was promoted to an assistant specialist trustee coordinator and several more promotions followed in short order — to heavy equipment operator in 2001, and to his current position of foreman in 2005. He works for the roads department in the Upper Keys.
Like his promotions, thanks for jobs well done began soon after he was hired and have continued throughout his time at the county. His file is full of many letters of praise from residents as well as other county departments for work completed quickly and well. In addition, in 2014, he was voted employee of the third quarter and employee of the year for his quick response to cries for help while he was working, which resulted in him saving the life of an infant girl.
“His construction skills, his expertise as a heavy equipment operator, and his commitment to safety is exactly who we look for at Monroe County,” said Judy Clarke, director of engineering and roads. “We thank him for his service to the citizens of Monroe County.”
