Today, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake presented Ms. Beth A. Strommen
with the Richard A. Lidinsky, Sr. Award of Excellence in Public
Service at a ceremony in City Hall. Strommen has worked for the
Planning Department for 22 years.

"Each year, we have an opportunity to celebrate the exemplary
employees who have dedicated themselves to making their agency-and
this city-a better place," said Mayor Rawlings-Blake. "Beth Strommen
is constantly seeking to improve and restore environmental conditions
to make our urban communities greener and healthier places to live."

The Richard A. Lidinsky, Sr. Award of Excellence in Public Service was
established to recognize long-serving City employees who have worked
to improve City services and make city government more efficient. The
award is named after Mr. Lidinsky, who was employed with Baltimore
City for 43 years and served as deputy comptroller under eight mayors.

Every year, the Lidinsky Awards Committee selects an employee who
exemplifies the same attributes as this remarkable public servant.
Recipients receive $2,500 and have their name placed on a
commemorative plaque in the City Hall rotunda. Two runners-up are each
awarded $1000 prizes. Runners-up were Ms. Etta Crafton, a parking
specialist with the Parking Authority of Baltimore City, and Mr. Clark
Howells, watershed manager for the Department of Public Works.

Previous award winners are Peggy Watson (2004), Michael Alexander
(2005), Richard Kagan (2006), George Winfield (2007), Patricia
Williams (2008), Clement Ruley (2009), Donna Owens (2010), and Donald
Heinbuch (2011).
