The Kenton County Mayors, an informal group of Kenton County’s mayors who meet once a month to discuss how to better coordinate among each other, has been honored with a public service award.
Called the Cincinnatus Government Cooperation Award, it recognizes the work of cooperative entities where multiple government jurisdictions work together for a broader regional purpose.
The award was actually given out for 2020 through a partnership with the Cincinnatus Association and the Greater Cincinnati chapter of the American Society of Public Administration, but the group wasn’t informed about the award until Saturday.
The Kenton County Mayors Group first convened in 1994. Although not an official government entity, the group serves as a way for the county’s elected leaders to coordinate, share information and advocate for county-wide interests. They meet on the third Saturday of every month, except December.
