Basehor Chamber President Gayle Runnels presents the 2009 Outstanding Citizen
Award to Carl Slaugh at the annual Fourth of July Celebration.
Carl Slaugh was the choice of Basehor residents in each nomination form the chamber received. Slaugh received the award for several reasons as he has done a lot of work for the community, not only as the city administrator but also with different organizations he was involved with. One of the nomination forms said Slaugh had maintained a friendly, caring attitude throughout his service on the city staff. He was always out there, giving people pats on the back. “Carl Slaugh has all the characteristics of an outstanding citizen,” Runnels said as she handed Slaugh his plaque.
