Business Advisory Board · 2026-04-27 · agenda_item

The City of West Melbourne Business Advisory Board is reviewing a civic agenda item concerning the Mayor's Award. This award is typically chosen by the Mayor in October from recipients who received awards earlier in the calendar year and is presented at a meeting that same month. However, records show no presentations of this award in 2016, 2020, or 2021. The Beautification Committee, which was involved in this process, has not been active since 2023. This item is currently under review by the board. The review may lead to a re-establishment or modification of the award presentation process. Local businesses involved in event planning, printing, or awards manufacturing could potentially offer services if the program is reactivated or revised. Engaging with the city early in this review process could provide insight into future needs.
