Commissioners agreed to aim for recognition of Golden Paintbrush winners at a city council meeting in October and to prepare materials by the second week of September. Staff outlined options for in-house recognition versus a council ceremony.

Commissioners discussed the status and logistics of the Golden Paintbrush awards, which have been presented in the past at city council. Staff said the commission can either issue awards internally or ask city council to acknowledge winners and handle presentation logistics; several commissioners favored having winners acknowledged at a council meeting and finalizing ceremony details later.

"We have to get onto a council meeting," a commissioner said, and staff explained council scheduling typically requires agenda items to be submitted several weeks in advance.
