Recommended Action
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council recognize businesses that have been providing longstanding operations and services to the community for a number of years.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
The cost of the plaques and certificates is approximately $200.
BACKGROUND:
City Council established an award program to recognize those longstanding businesses that have continuously maintained a commercially-zoned premise. The purpose of the longstanding business award was to recognize businesses providing services to our community for many years.
Every year, the City recognizes businesses that have achieved 10, 20 and 40 years of continuous service milestones. Plaques are awarded to businesses that have served the community continuously for 40 years, while special proclamations are presented to businesses with 20 years. Certificates are mailed to businesses with 10 years.
The table below shows the number of businesses receiving recognition in 2017 as well as the recipients for the prior 6 years:
