City Manager’s Office Memorandum
April 25, 2011
TO: Janesville City Council
FROM: Al Hulick, Management Analyst
SUBJECT: Recognition of the 2011 Sustainable Janesville Award Recipients
(File Resolutions 2011-799, 2011-800, 2011-801).
In February 2011, the Sustainable Janesville Committee received approval from
the Janesville City Council to create the first annual Sustainable Janesville Award
Program. The purpose of this award is to recognize and promote innovation and
leadership in sustainability shown by businesses and by individual citizens in the
City of Janesville. The Committee feels that this annual award will be a strong
part of an overall effort to “spread the word” about sustainability in the
community.
thst
Applications were accepted between February 18 and April 1. In total the
Committee received 5 nominations. These nominations ranged from single
individuals, a small business, to one of Janesville’s top employers.
After much deliberation the Sustainable Janesville Committee decided to honor
three award recipients: Data Dimensions, Mocha Moment, and Basics
Cooperative. The Committee felt each one of these nominees were worthy of the
award and have consistently shown exemplary leadership in sustainability for
years. Therefore, the Committee felt it was important to honor these three
nominees in the first year of the Sustainable Janesville Awards Program.
Sustainable Janesville Committee Chairperson Dan Swanson has informed
award recipients and will be coordinating their attendance to receive their
respective awards.
Suggested Motion
I move to approve File Resolution 2011-799, 2011-800, and 2011-801
recognizing Basics Cooperative, Data Dimensions, and Mocha Moment as
winners of the 2011 Sustainable Janesville Awards program.
