Bill Sandberg, beloved mayor of North St. Paul
Elected eight times and in office 30 years, the funeral director knew how to build consensus and defuse tension. trouble. Bill Sandberg, who served as mayor of North St. Paul for 30 years, did the hard work of consensus building when the City Council he led considered the weighty issues before it. Aided by his wit and good humor, he avoided the political acrimony that can be found in government, which supporters say led to his political endurance. Sandberg, who was elected to the suburban city's highest office eight times, died on Sunday evening at his North St. Paul home of acute myeloid leukemia. Sandberg, a funeral director, was 76.
