Florissant Mayor Thomas P. Schneider was honored by the Municipal League of Metro St. Louis with its 2017 Buzz Westfall Award for Excellence in Local Government at the organization\u2019s sixth annual MUNI Awards on Wednesday, May 31.<\/p>\n

In presenting the award to Mayor Schneider, Municipal League Past President and Creve Coeur Mayor Barry Glantz said that \u201cServing our constituents effectively through local government takes a willingness to learn, to listen, to collaborate, to plan, to be thoughtful, and above all to care about our communities.<\/p>\n

The award reads \u201cIn recognition of his outstanding leadership and commitment to the City of Florissant, St. Louis County and the St. Louis Region.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cThis year\u2019s recipient embodies these characteristics. Tom has a lifetime of service to the City of Florissant and St. Louis County. He was first hired as city engineer in 1976. In 1979 he was elected to the city council in Ward 3 and served for 32 years until being elected mayor in 2011.\u201d<\/p>\n

Glantz, on behalf of the league singled out Schneider\u2019s leadership of the out-of-state auto sales tax ballot issue in 2016.<\/p>\n

\u201cMayor Schneider led one of the most remarkable election campaigns we have ever seen. Tom worked with the Auto Dealers Association to produce thousands of signs supporting the proposal. Due to Tom\u2019s efforts voters in each of the 43 cities voted to approve retention of the tax. This was an unprecedented level of cooperation that preserved an important revenue stream for our cities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Every year the Municipal League honors an individual who is recognized for exceptional leadership and contributions to the betterment of local government with the Westfall Award. Schneider has been an active member of the MML and was elected President of the County League in 2012. He has served as a member of the Board since 2008.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am honored and humbled to accept this award,\u201d said Mayor Schneider. \u201cI believe strongly in the mission of the Municipal League and am grateful for the ongoing work and dedication of the League and its municipal members, who work tirelessly to make St. Louis County such a great place to live, work and raise a family,\u201d<\/p>\n

The Westfall Award and MUNI awards for municipal excellence in innovation and collaboration were made at the annual Municipal League of Metro St. Louis MUNI Award and officer installation dinner which honor municipalities across St. Louis County.<\/p>\n
