Parkland City Commissioner Bob Mayersohn.
The Florida League of Cities (FLC) recently recognized City of Parkland Commissioner Bob Mayersohn with a 2024 Home Rule Hero Award for his hard work and advocacy efforts during the 2024 Legislative Session.
Mayersohn, who has served as a city commissioner since 2016, has been recognized four other times by the FLC.
According to a press release from the City of Parkland, Mayersohn worked tirelessly throughout the session to promote local voices making local choices, protect the Home Rule powers of Florida’s municipalities, and advance the League’s legislative agenda.
“The dedication and effort of these local officials who tirelessly advocated for local decision-making was a difference-maker this legislative session,” said FLC Chief of Legislative Affairs Casey Cook. “On behalf of the League and its legislative team, we’re proud to recognize each of them and thank them for their service.”
Home Rule is the ability of a city to address local problems with local solutions with minimal state interference. Home Rule Hero Award recipients are local government officials, both elected and nonelected, who consistently responded to the League’s request to reach out to members of the Legislature and help give a local perspective on an issue.
Mayersohn, who is termed out after 2024, was grateful to be recognized for the 5th consecutive year.
“I have a way to go to match the eight consecutive championships won by the Boston Celtics or the seven Superbowl victories by Tom Brady, but I’m honored that I can now fill each finger, on one hand, with a Home Rule Hero Award.”
