As a part of the approved 2008 Key Financial Strategies, the City Council asked
staff to develop a program recognizing volunteers who contribute their time and
resources to park and recreation functions. Staff reviewed the current
Environmental Excellence Award program and developed the Park &
Recreation award program after this successful model. The attached draft
includes categories for individuals, businesses, and civic organizations and
youth associations. Following Council direction, staff will present the program
to the Park & Recreation Commission for their review.
The City of Chanhassen · A growing community with clean lakes, quality schools, a charming downtown, thriving businesses, winding trails, and beautiful parks. A great place to live, work, and play.
