Daly City commission seeks more legacy-business nominations for May celebration; staff to vet and forward to council
Summary
Commissioners reviewed current nominations for the May legacy-business celebration ( Bridal Basket, a $1 store and Royal Donut), discussed nomination vetting (age, code and tax compliance) and agreed staff will vet submissions and return candidates to the commission before sending to City Council for final approval.
During the Dec. 12 meeting, staff asked commissioners to submit nominations for the city’s legacy-business celebration, which recognizes businesses in operation more than 10 years. Staff said nomination materials and a PDF with a candidate list were distributed to commissioners and encouraged more nominations ahead of a planned celebration aligned with National Small Business Week in May.
Staff read the current nominees—Bridal Basket, a $1 store and Royal Donut—and said the commission should expand the list to present to the City Council for final approval. Commissioners discussed holding the celebration during the commission’s May 8 regular meeting; staff noted nominations must be vetted and routed through the commission before they go to council, so earlier submission (by the January meeting) would allow time for council scheduling.
Chair Amaril Radwan asked about a nomination for Abdullah Accounting (from Westlake); staff confirmed that business did not qualify after initial vetting. Staff explained vetting checks could include business age, code violations and outstanding tax obligations.
Staff asked commissioners to submit up to two nominations each and offered to assist with pre-submission vetting. The commission agreed staff should prepare vetted candidate lists for the commission to approve and then forward to City Council for final sign-off.
