V olunteer and Service A ward Recognition Program
.1-
-........
As 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 developed
and modeled an awards program based on the current Environmental
Excellence A ward Program. This conceptual model was reviewed by the
City Council at their August 25,2008 work session. Staff was directed to
take the conceptual program to the Park and Recreation Commission for
their review.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Park and Recreation Commission review and
finalize the Volunteer and Service Award Recognition Program. Staff will
then forward it to the City council for final consideration.
