EDC — Tim Rehbine, John Magill and Mary Capra <br /> RE: Citizen and Businessperson of the year <br /> The EDC is asking the city council for assistance in the process of nomination of Citizen <br /> and Businessperson of the year recommendations. <br /> This year as in past years we find ourselves faced with having to consider our own <br /> committee members for these awards. <br /> This year Mary Capra was nominated for citizen of the year along with two other <br /> residents. Tim Rehbein and John Magill were nominated for businessperson of the year <br /> along with five other businessmen. <br /> As committee members we find ourselves torn. If we don't acknowledge the successes <br /> of our peers we are not giving recognition to many projects accomplished for this city <br /> through hours of time and dedication by individuals that really have made a difference in <br /> a variety of ways in this city over the past year. <br /> If we ourselves abstain from voting for ourselves and only vote for the other nominees <br /> we eliminate ourselves from the process all together no matter how anyone else votes. <br /> We are looking to the city council to help us come up with a better system for this voting <br /> process for example including all city committees in the voting process /absentee ballots. <br /> We believe that our recommendations of Mary Capra for citizen and Fr. Richard Wolter <br /> for businessperson of the year are well deser4ased on the nominating letters and forms <br /> that were received. But we are enclosing all the nominations for the council to review in <br /> the event that you may feel differently. <br /> Thank you for your time and assistance in the matter. <br />
