Sandusky recognizes greenhouse volunteers and presents key to the city to engineer Aaron Klein
Summary
At its Oct. 20 meeting the Sandusky City Commission honored several greenhouse volunteers for years of service and presented a "key to the city" to departing city engineer Aaron Klein, citing his grant work and infrastructure stewardship.
The Sandusky City Commission used part of its Oct. 20 meeting to recognize long-serving volunteers and to honor the city engineer.
Commissioners introduced the 'Friends of the Greenhouse' volunteers, naming recipients including Kathleen Dudek, Richard Gallagher, Nanette Goss (transcript: Nanette Gus/Goss), Judy Mears and Mary Jane (presented as Mary Jane Hall/Mary Jane Hill in the record). Chair and commissioners recounted volunteer activities — plant propagation, school tours, fundraising and plant sales — and noted the group took more than 30,000 cuttings annually and logged "927 and a quarter" volunteer hours this year.
Later the commission presented Aaron Klein, the city engineer, with the city's highest recognition, the key to the city, acknowledging his 12+ years of service, grant successes and leadership on capital projects. The chair stated: "This key to the city of Sandusky is presented to Aaron Klein for his years of dedication and leadership in engineering, environmental stewardship, and public service." Multiple commissioners offered tributes describing Klein's role securing grants, overseeing roundabout and shoreline projects, and defending the city's interests in major contracts.
Klein responded by thanking staff and commissioners and said the results were a team effort. The meeting record shows extended public and commissioner appreciation; no formal action was required for the recognitions.
