The purpose of the action item is to gain Council input and direction about an Orono Good <br />Citizen Award. <br />2.Background. Council Member Crosby nominated past resident Gary Marquardt for an Orono <br />Citizen award on October 13th to recognize Marquardt’s service he provided to Orono residents and area <br />Veterans by performing “Taps” at funerals and grave sites. <br />Currently, the city does not have a program for such awards, therefore staff drafted nomination criteria <br />shown at Exhibit A and a nomination form shown at Exhibit B.
