The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the letter sent to the council by Bill regarding the city assuming responsibility for awarding the Citizen of the Year. When the award was originally concieved DSRSD and the Chamber were the only organized representative bodies. Now that the city has incorporated it seems more appropriate, that the council, as a more representative body of the citizens of Dublin should be involved, if not wholly responsible for the award. The city would be able to publicize the sward by making annoucements at all council and commisasion meetings. Nomination forms could be sent out to the Chamber list along with their Business Person of the Year nomination form.and additionally forms could be available at- all city offices, meetings, the library and Shannon. The Chamber feels that this would then provide the opportunity to uncover the unknown volunteer who contributes a great deal of time in the Dublin community, but goes unnoticed because they aren't in one of the organizations currently on the Chambers mailing list. Judging could be in one of three ways; Let the current Chamber committee decide, let a two councilmember committee decide, or appoint a separate committee composed of one ap$ointment: per councilmember. The award could be given out in three ways; At the Chamber Christmas luncheon with the Business Person of the Year, at a council meeting, or at the city's annual volunteer recognition dinner. The cost would be approximately $100 annually for reporduction costs of the nomination. form and the plaque. We did not address the perpetual plaque that is.on display in the Chamber office but it would seem that the plaque would be something we would want to display at the new city offices. ; It was suggested that we should change the rules so that the nominee be a resident and that the reason they are being nominated is for a contribution of time and talent to the community of Dublin only. It was requested that a decision be made by October 1, 1986 so that the nomination form could be sent with the Business Person of the Year Nomination form. Councilmember Moffatt and I recommend.that the city assume responsibility for this award. If you accept our recommendation then the council nteds to determine the following: ,w 1.

I am not so sure that the Award_ should come from the Chamber but rather from the City. Last year's recipient of the Award was not a Member of the Chamber and does not own or manage a business in Dublin, yet he was selected as the outstanding - Citizen of 'the Year. The award should come from the City since the City represents all of the citizens of Dublin and the Chamber really only,: represents the business community. V The Chamber's Board of Directors agreed with me and suggested that-;I e Chamber turn this selection over to the Mayor and allocate time at our. Annual Installation celebration for the Mayor's office to make the announcement and present the award. By doing 'so, all citizens including business persons would be eligible for this most prestigious award. Joe Devane and Paul Ryan have been Co-Chairman of the Awards Committee for the Chamber in the past. They have selected three individuals each year to complete the selection process. It is our intention to ask them to do this again this year for the other Chamber related awards. Please let me know your opinion and reaction to this suggestion. December is four months away, however, time seems to speed up as we get closer. Our Installation of Officers and Directors luncheon is scheduled for December 17, 1986. Sincerely er� ours Jfc� BILL FOSTER, President Board of Directors -- BF:nf cc: Joe Devane 7986 Amador Valley Boulevard Dublin, California 94568 (415) 828-6200
