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.
