City of Oronoco Outstanding Citizen Award Criteria

 

• Nominees must be a past or present resident of the City of Oronoco.
• Nominees must have made a contribution of service to the community while residing in the City of Oronoco.
• No committee member may nominate one’s self.
• Current or past residents and city staff of the City of Oronoco may nominate individuals.
• A committee of up to two City Councilors and no less than two City of Oronoco residents will review the nominees and make a recommendation for the full City Council to approve (there is no maximum number of committee members, unless Council dictates otherwise).
• Terms of the committee members are open, but the goal would be to serve a maximum of 10 years and have committee members cycle out one at a time.
• Meetings of the committee are primarily in the fall and will attempt to be done in person, unless schedules preclude this.
• If the committee is not in unanimous agreement for the nominee, a majority vote of City Council will break the tie between the top two candidates.
• Nominations will open in late summer and shall be received by City Hall until the last day in October, or the following Monday- if the end of the month falls on a weekend.
• Nominations may be dropped off, mailed, faxed or emailed to City Hall.
• If at all possible, awardees will be presented with the award at the December City Council Meeting, unless schedules preclude otherwise.
• These criteria may be modified at anytime by a majority vote of Council.
