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 $1,500.
BACKGROUND:
City Council established an award program to recognize and applaud longstanding businesses that have continuously maintained a commercially-zoned premise, providing services to our community for many years.
On May 1, 2018, City Council approved a revision to the longstanding business award program changing the incremental milestones recognized from 10, 20, and 40 years of continuous service to 10, 25, 30, 40, and 50 years. Plaques will be awarded to businesses that achieve the 30, 40, and 50 year milestones, special proclamations will be presented to businesses with 25 years and certificates will be mailed to businesses with 10 years.
The table below shows the number of businesses receiving recognition since 2018 under the new milestones, followed by a listing for the previous 5 years under the former structure:
