A “classic” member of our agency is retiring.

A “classic” member of our agency is retiring. Utility Worker Ray Munoz is cruising into retirement after 38 years of service. Ray is one of the first people you meet when you start your career by picking up a uniform and equipment from him out in Special Services- where you could easily tell by looking at his desk that Ray loves the @lakers , @dodgers and @cocacola collectibles. ⚾️🏀🥤

Happy retirement, Ray and thank you for being a part of our team! ⭐️
