State Rep. Tim O’Driscoll, Sartell, was one of 28 state lawmakers recently named Legislators of Distinction by the League of Minnesota Cities. The honor recognizes legislators for specific actions that aided efforts of Minnesota cities during the past year’s legislative session. Legislators of Distinction are approved annually by the League’s Board of Directors to recognize that in order to successfully serve shared constituents, state and city officials must work together to meet the unique needs of rural, suburban and urban residents all across Minnesota.
To be eligible for the Legislator of Distinction honor, legislators must achieve one or more of the following criteria: be generally and reasonably accessible to League representatives, seek input on issues of importance to cities, listen to League concerns and be receptive to League-provided information on issues, sponsor and/or support League initiatives, speak out on behalf of the interest of cities and/or work to demonstrate the importance of partnership between the state and cities.
O’Driscoll was cited specifically for addressing issues brought before the Pension Commission, including the need for a 2016 contribution increase, modifying the contribution stabilizer criteria per League policy, and assuring a merger of PERA with a local plan was actuarially structured to prevent cost shifts.
Recipients of the recognition received a letter of appreciation and a certificate. Additionally, a copy of the Legislator of Distinction acknowledgement letter was sent to the mayor of each city in the district of each award winner.
