Ludwig Award. Benke's name was submitted, however, <br />he did not receive the award. Samuelson noted that many of Benke's accomplishments <br />strongly influenced the excellent quality of life New Brighton currently enjoys. <br /> <br />Fulton said Benke was Jaycee President in 1975 which shows his community leadership <br />goes back before serving on the Council. The C. C. Ludwig Award represents <br />outstanding elected leadership in Minnesota, and is the highest award for elected <br />officials. Without question, Benke is a deserving recipient. The City facilitated the <br />application which was fIlled with letters of support from the community. He presented a <br />certificate of recognition from the LMC to Benke. <br /> <br />Gunderman noted Benke's accomplishment'! both community and statewide. <br /> <br />Williams cannot imagine any other mayor spending the amount of personal time Benke <br />spends on the betterment of the community. Each Councilmember is a strong individual <br />with strong opinions, yet there is unity and we are quite free to express our points of <br />view and we do come together. All of this is due in no small part to Benke's leadership. <br /> <br />Benke said the City has been blessed with a Council that has a personal and professional <br />commitment to the City. He is honored to be nominated for the award, and thanked the <br />Council and staff for their tremendous efforts and friendship. <br /> <br />Special Order of <br />Business <br /> <br />Benke Recognition <br /> <br />Consent Avenda Consent A~enda <br /> <br />Motion by Gunderman, seconded by Williams, to APPROVE THE CONSENT <br />AGENDA ITEMS AS FOLLOWS: <br /> <br />1. <br /> <br />CONSOLIDATED VOUCHERS: 068981-069170 FOR A GRAND TOTAL <br />OF $180,626.60. <br /> <br />2. <br /> <br />CONSIDERA TION OF APPROVAL OF THE WATER TOWER LEASE <br />AGREEMENT WITH APT MINNEAPOLIS INC.; AND APPROVE A <br />WATER TOWER LEASE AGREEMENT WITH SPRINT SPECTRUM, <br />SUBJECT TO FINAL REVIEW AND APPROVAL BY THE CITY <br />ATTORNEY AND CITY MANAGER. <br /> <br />3. <br /> <br />CONSIDERA TION OF APPROVAL OF THE PROCLAMATION <br />DECLARING JUNE 20, 1996, AS TWIN CITY OXYGEN DAY IN <br />HONOR OF BEING SELECTED AS THE NEW BRIGHTON/MOUNDS <br />VIEW AREA CHAMBER'S 1996 BUSINESS OF THE YEAR. <br /> <br />5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried. <br /> <br />Puhlic Hearinv - None <br /> <br />Council Business <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Director Maurie Anderson presented a resident's request for the <br />deferment of the asphalt trail located within Innsbruck Park.
