Deputy Mayor Michael S. Hendricks is the recipient of the 2013 Ivan H. Brinegar Municipal Management Award. Hendricks was presented with the honor at the 2013 Indiana Association of Cities and Towns annual conference and exhibition in Indianapolis on Oct. 7.

This prestigious award is presented to an appointed municipal official with a minimum of 10 years of city or town service who displays strong leadership, contributes to the community and serves as a role model to citizens and municipal officials.

“I was shocked,” Hendricks said. “I had no idea.”

Hendricks said the city did a great job keeping him in the dark as he didn’t know about the award until it was announced at the conference.

“Right away I knew it was me when they said the person was recommended for this award by John Ditslear,” he said. “All the (department) directors came down to see me get the award. My wife, son and mother came out from behind the curtain on stage. They did a good job.”

Hendricks was the director of the city’s wastewater utility prior to working as the deputy mayor since April 1, 2010. He is approaching his 20th year with the City of Noblesville.

“One of the greatest things is living in the community I work for. The things I work on impact me as a citizen and the community,” he said. “To live and serve the community I live in, I’ve been very fortunate to have that opportunity.”

In addition to his dedication to the city, Hendricks has served on the School Improvement Committee and now serves on the Noblesville Education Foundation Board of Directors. He is a past president of the Noblesville Midday Rotary Club and a member of the development organization team for Noblesville Youth Sports, which works to unite youth sports organizations within the city.

“Mike’s a hard worker and dedicated not only to the City of Noblesville, but to numerous other organizations. We are so pleased for him to receive this well-earned honor,” stated Mayor John Ditslear. “I cannot think of anyone more deserving of the Ivan H. Brinegar Award than Mike.”
