WESTLAKE CONSIDERS NEW AWARD; OUTSTANDING RESIDENT WOULD BE HONORED.Byline: Kevin F. Sherry Daily News Staff Writer While many cities honor their residents with awards for achievement in various categories, Westlake Village wants to begin an Annual Citizen Recognition Program, which would be akin to a citizen-of-the-year award. Councilman James Henderson James Henderson may refer to:
``We have a lot of people in our city who contribute a great deal,'' he said. On Wednesday, the City Council will review guidelines guidelines, n.pl a set of standards, criteria, or specifications to be used or followed in the performance of certain tasks. for the program. The award is designed to honor a Westlake Village resident who has shown ``outstanding contributions toward the betterment bet·ter·ment n. 1.

Westlake Village proposes holding an annual nomination period from September through December.

The winner will be honored at a City Council meeting, and the person's name will appear on a permanent plaque plaque (plak) 1. any patch or flat area. 2. a superficial, solid, elevated skin lesion. attachment plaques at City Hall. The city-sponsored award would be a first among cities in the region. Most similar awards are sponsored by chambers of commerce, or in narrow categories. On Sunday, the Conejo Valley The Conejo Valley is a region spanning both Southeastern Ventura County and Northwest Los Angeles County in Southern California, United States. It was discovered in 1542 by Spanish explorer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, and eventually became part of the Rancho El Conejo land grant by Chamber of Commerce honored Frank Lusier as its Man of the Year and Mary Alva Anderson as Woman of the Year. The Westlake Village chamber does not have such an award. When the merging of the Westlake Village and Conejo Valley chambers becomes official, the newly named Thousand Oaks/Westlake Village Regional Chamber of Commerce expects to honor a regional winner or winners. The Thousand Oaks Thousand Oaks, residential city (1990 pop. 104,352), Ventura co., S Calif., in a farm area; inc. 1964. Avocados, citrus, vegetables, strawberries, and nursery products are grown. Council on Aging honors a senior of the year, and the Historical Society names it Don and Dona Triunfo service awards. At a Thursday awards luncheon, the Agoura/Las Virgenes Chamber of Commerce plans to honor Barbara and Michael Mendelsohn as business people of the year. Jim and Sandy Iwanoff are scheduled to receive the chamber's Penland Award, presented to people who have shown outstanding dedication to the community. In Simi Valley Simi Valley (sē`mē, sĭm`ē), city (1990 pop. 100,217), Ventura co., SW Calif. in an oil, fruit, and farm region; laid out 1887, inc. 1969. , the chamber of commerce honors a business person of the year. The city of Moorpark held a citizen-recognition event in September 1997, although no future events have been scheduled. Having Westlake Village single out someone for recognition will have a special meaning for the person, Henderson said. ``I think they appreciate that,'' he said. ``It perhaps has a different sort of meaning. Government recognition is always very, very welcome.'' The Westlake Village City Council will meet at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at 4373 Park Terrace Drive. |
