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 IMPLICATION:
The cost of the plaques and certificates is approximately $500.
BACKGROUND:
In 1993, the City Council created an awards program to recognize those longstanding businesses that have been continuously maintaining a commercially-zoned premise. The purpose of the longstanding business award was to recognize and applaud 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 (these milestones are calculated based on the date the business was first licensed in Manhattan Beach and may not necessarily reflect the entire length of time the business has been operating).Plaques are awarded to businesses that have served the community continuously for 40 years, while special proclamations are presented to businesses with 20 years.
