Since time limitations do not always permit official Council action, the
Mayor is authorized to issue City seals, keys to the City or other
suitable recognition symbols on behalf of the City to honor citizens,
organizations or visiting dignitaries under such circumstances as the
Mayor may deem appropriate.
A comprehensive record will be maintained by the City Clerk indicating the
form and the text of official Council recognition awards. This record
may, in turn, be used as a guide for subsequent awards.
Nothing in this policy shall be construed to prevent City Boards or
Commissions from adopting their own policies on service recognition awards
consistent with their activities and responsibilities.
