Frank Brownell honored for service

By Roger Allen

Frank Brownell has been presented a City of Montezuma Outstanding Citizen Award.

The honor was given Monday evening, Dec. 16, at the conclusion of Brownell’s last meeting as a member of the Montezuma City Council, which he has served for 54 years.

Presenting the plaque on behalf of the city was Jacki Bolen, a fellow council member and mayor-elect.

In paying tribute to Brownell, Bolen reviewed some historical accomplishments during his tenure, and thanked him for his mentoring and his many contributions to the city and community.

A stream of citizens then individually greeted and thanked Brownell during a reception in his honor.
