The Livingston City Council on Thursday presented a service award and plaque to Tony Avina, who retired after a 38-year career in the city’s Public Works Department.
Mayor Moran and councilmembers read a brief biography describing Avina’s long tenure — hired in 1987, work across streets, water and parks departments, water treatment certifications, and promotion to public works superintendent in May 2018. Council members and staff thanked Avina for decades of on-call work, institutional knowledge and leadership.
Avina spoke briefly, thanking past and present colleagues, contractors and family and reflecting on the challenge of public work under public scrutiny. Council invited him forward for photos and a short reception with cookies and refreshments after the ceremony.
Staff and council noted Avina lives locally and said the city expects to call on his experience as needed following retirement.
