Each year, City Council formally acknowledges individuals who have dedicated their time and service to the City. The selected citizens receive an Exemplary Service Award as formal recognition of their contributions to the community.
The nomination window for 2026 Exemplary Service Awards is now closed. Winners will be announced at an awards ceremony taking place at the Delta Hotel on April 22.
