If a swing breaks in any Fontana park, a shopping cart is left along the Pacific Electric Trail or a pipe springs a leak at the Heritage snack bar, who are you going to call? Well, there's a saying at the Public Works yard: "If you need something around the City, call Freddie." And who better to fix a maintenance problem than none other than City of Fontana's Maintenance Services Crew Chief, Freddie Fix? 

Karen Mattson

  1. Karen Mattson

You could say a career with the City of Fontana was meant to be for Account Clerk Karen Mattson. The former waitress spent years serving meals to city employees at one of the few sit-down restaurants in Fontana in the 1980s. Her ambitious and charismatic personality led to the then City of Fontana Finance Director encouraging her to apply for a part-time position as an account clerk in the Purchasing Division. She took a leap of faith, applied and as they say, the rest is history.
