FINANCIAL STATEMENT: Monies for the Annual Volunteer Recognition Event are included as
part of the City's Fiscal Year 2003-2004 Budget.
DESCRIPTION: As part of the 2002-2003 Goals and Objectives, the Council requested that Staff
"Coordinate a Commission/Committee Recognition, Mayor's Award Dinner & Program including
Citizen/Organization of the Year Award."
Since that time, two recognition events were held on October 5, 2001 and October 11, 2002 respectfully.
On January 7, 2003, the City Council reviewed a Council Subcommittee report regarding the Recognition
event. The report reviewed the purpose of the event, guest list, attendance, entertainment, room capacity
and timing of the event. The Council Subcommittee recommended changing the recognition event date to
February of each year. The Subcommittee agreed that changing the date would minimize confusion
during election years and overall provide a more timely recognition of out-going Commission/Committee
members. The Council Subcommittee also discussed that moving the date of the event to February would
provide greater recognition opportunities of the Citizen and Organization of the Year by other services
groups throughout the year.
Based on Council direction, Staff is recommending the last Thursday in February become the permanent
Volunteer Recognition Event date. The Monarch Hotel has confirmed availability of the Grand Ball Room
on Thursday, February 26, 2004.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Council confirm the date for Annual Volunteer Recognition Event.
