A-4 •
Service of employees, Board and Commission members:
1. Employees, Board and Commission Members and Council
Members, shall receive service pins for each five year increment of
service with the City.
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.
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.
