Volunteer of the Year Award
In 2012, a citizen appreciation program was established by Council. A key components of this program is recognizing outstanding volunteers. Council selected Ed Zumwalt as the recipient of the first Volunteer of the Year Award and aptly named the award after him.
City Council continues to select a Volunteer of the Year, honoring them with a plaque and proclamation in April of each year. Additionally, a larger plaque resides in the City Hall lobby acknowledging each year's recipient. Nominations for the award are collected from the community beginning in late December until mid-February. The winner is then selected in March or April. Winner's are then featured in the Pilot Newsletter, on social media, and on the city website. Finally, the Volunteer of the Year is honored at the annual Volunteer Appreciation Dinner sometime during the year.
