JlVlt~lL~L~ ~ TO: Honorable Mayor and Conncil Members Kim Stephan t& FROM: SUBJECT: Economic Development Committee Recommendations DATE: March 19,2004 The Economic Development Committee made the following recommendation for City Council consideration at their March 16, 2004 committee meeting. The committee discussed the nominations for Citizen of the Year, Business of the Year and the Lifetime Achievement Award. The nominations were sent out with utility billing to approximately 1,800 residents, forms were available at City Hall and all council, committee and commission members were reminded nomination forms were due. The committee received three (3) nominations for Business of the Year, one (1) nomination for Citizen of the Year and one (1) nomination for Lifetime Achievement. The committee does not believe there is interest from the residents to participate in this program nor is it EDC's function to be involved in Citizen of the Year or the Lifetime Achievement Award. EDC would like to continue with the Business Person of the Year Award as it directly relates to EDC. The committee would like to continue taking nominations for the Business Person of the Year until the next scheduled EDC meeting scheduled for April 13, 2004. Motion was made by Chairperson Burke, seconded by Vice-Chairperson Backman to forward the Citizen of the Year and Lifetime Achievement Award nominations on to City Council for further consideration with no recommendation from the Economic Development Committee. EDC would like to maintain and present the Business Person ofthe Year Award. All in favor. Motion passed unanimously.
