Resolution of the City of St. Louis Park, Minnesota,
recognizing the contributions of and expressing appreciation to
Fleet Mechanic Rick Bahe
Whereas, Rick Bahe began his employment with the City of St. Louis Park over 33 years
ago on January 6, 1986; and
Whereas, Rick has mentored and trained many employees as they transition from the
private to public sector, with substantial differences in equipment and ope rating systems; and
Whereas, Rick was the lead welder and worked on many fabrication projects from
development to the completion, many of which were very grand in scale and detail; and
Whereas, Rick worked on many special projects for many departments of the City,
including for the Police Department’s throw phone project in which he received a city
teamwork award for his effort; and
Whereas, Rick has attended additional training on new equipment to become efficient
in the operation and repair. Much of the time the training required time away from family; and
Whereas, Rick has worked through many winters requiring early morning starts, late
days and weekends to provide support primarily for snow removal but on other occasions for
other departments and breakdowns;
Whereas, in retirement Rick will enjoy spending time with family and friends as well as
many hours traveling with his wife on their bikes throughout the trails of Minnesota.
Now therefore be it resolved that the City Council of the City of St. Louis Park,
Minnesota, by this resolution and public record, would like to thank Rick Bahe for his great
contributions and more than 33 years of dedicated service to the City of St. Louis Park and wish
him the best in his retirement.
