Lauderdale Lakes officials honor Zarlene Scott for civic service
Summary
Lauderdale Lakes officials recognized Zarlene Scott as a community pioneer and thanked her for years of civic service; the honoree told attendees she was grateful and surprised by the tribute.
Lauderdale Lakes officials recognized Zarlene Scott during a meeting, calling her a "community pioneer" and thanking her for "outstanding commitment to civic service." The Chair invited residents to join Vice Mayor Sharon Thomas and commissioners Tyson, Houston, Harrison and Carlene Maxwell Williams, along with the city's historic preservation board, in honoring Scott.
Scott, identified by the Chair as the honoree, addressed the gathering and thanked attendees. "I don't know what I've done to deserve this," she said, adding that one should "serve your community the best that you can and do right by everyone that you know." The Chair noted that Scott's son was present and invited her forward to receive the recognition.
The exchange was ceremonial; no motions or votes were recorded in the transcript for this segment. Transcript spellings were inconsistent (the name appears variously as "Zalyn Jones Scott" and "Zarlene Scott"); the remarks in the transcript attributed the invitation and list of officials to the Chair and the thank-you remarks to the honoree, Zarlene Scott.
