Friday, August 7, 2015 by Elizabeth Pagano
At Thursday’s City Council meeting, the city honored Tim Hill with a Distinguished Service Award. Hill recently delivered a baby on the side of the road near the city’s landfill. Hill works for the Austin Resource Recovery Department as a technical trainer. The department’s director, Bob Gedert, presented him with the award. “Tim’s exceptional character not only makes him a great employee, but also a great citizen. The city of Austin is lucky to have him, and I am proud to call him part of the Austin Resource Recovery team,” said Gedert.
