Background: <br /> <br /> COMMUNITY SERVICE AWARD <br />By: Mark Boos, Parks/Utilities Coordinator <br /> <br />CASE # <br /> <br />As a result of City Council's and the Park and Recreation Commission's desire to institute <br />a formal resident participant and volunteer program, a Community Service Award Program <br />has evolved. <br /> <br />In October, City Council adopted the Commission's three-tiered recognition program, <br />which in most cases would entail the following: <br /> <br />I) <br /> <br />Present volunteer with a personalized certificate. (This will occur upon completion <br />of the activity. <br /> <br />The volunteer will be acknowledged publicly via the Ramsey Resident Newsletter <br />and Cable TV. (This also will occur near the time of the activity's completion.) <br /> <br />An official announcement, annually, which will include all volunteers. (This could <br />be done in conjunction with the Environmental Expo and Arbor Day celebration and <br />also possibly at a City Council meeting.) <br /> <br />Observation: <br /> <br />In this season of giving and reflection of the year's events, it seems timely that we <br />recognize the individuals and organizations that have contributed to Ramsey's success as a <br />top notch suburban community. (Incidentally, Saxon Printing of Anoka donated the 200 <br />forms we ordered! !) <br /> <br />Staff Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff recommends adopting the Community Service Award. <br /> <br />Council Action: <br /> <br />Motion to adopt Resolution g92-XX Adopting the Community Service Award Program. <br /> <br />and - <br /> <br />Motion to ac ~knowledge the following volunteers: (Please read the list for the public) <br /> <br />Beth Mitchell <br />· First Chair of Ramsey's Citizens Tree Committee. <br />· Represented Ramsey in I992ts Urban Forestry Workshop and contributed a significant <br /> amount of time to Ramsey's Tree Sale and Environmental Expo. <br /> <br />Tom Patchen <br />· Photo documentation of Environmental Expo and Tree Sale. <br /> <br />Cub Scout Pack 376: Paul Couture <br />· Arbor Day seedling planting with Scouts at the 30 acre Municipal Center. <br /> <br /> <br />
