( ~J <br />`~ <br />City of ~~ • <br />ilk River <br />ITEM 4.6. <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor and City Council <br />FROM: Sandra Thackeray, City Clerk <br />DATE: June 26, 1995 <br />SUBJECT: Volunteer Appreciation Program <br />INTRODUCTION <br />The City Clerk has been requested to research the possibility of having some <br />type of appreciation program. The purpose of the program would be to <br />recognize those volunteers who give of their service, talent and time while <br />serving on committees, boards, commissions and task forces. <br />BACHGROUND <br />• After talking to clerks from several cities, it has been determined that this <br />type of program is very common. Most cities seem to have a similar program <br />which consist of a dinner for the volunteer and apartner/spouse, some type of <br />gift for the volunteer and a certificate of appreciation for those whose terms <br />have expired or who are on committees who have disband. <br />Staff is recommending that the program be available to all volunteers who <br />have served, or are serving on the following boards, commissions, committees <br />or task forces: <br />• Planning Commission <br />• Steering Committee <br />• Economic Development Commission <br />• Economic Development Committees <br />• Housing and Redevelopment Authority <br />• Park and Recreation Commission <br />• Library Board <br />• Utilities Commission <br />• Ice Arena Committee <br />• Business Park Task Force <br />• Fire Department Compensation Task Force <br />• Riverfront Corridor Committee <br />• <br />13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
