Review and approve the City Council Recognition Policy; or 2. Provide staff direction. DISCUSSION At the request of several City Councilmembers, staff has drafted a Council Policy to formalize the City Council Recognition process in order to establish consistent practices as it relates to recognitions at Council meetings or non -City Council meetings/events. Implementing a process will allow the City Council to be consistent in determining the appropriate number of recognitions at each City Council meeting or non -City Council meeting/events, and the level and category of each recognition award. This process will not only ensure consistency among each recognition, it will also make costs of providing recognition more efficient. Currently, Council Members are permitted to recognize any individual, group, or official on behalf of the Mayor and the entire City Council without a formalized limit. To' better serve the City Council, staff recommends establishing a policy that will outline recognition procedures (Exhibit 1).
