Piedmont council adopts revised Volunteer and Young Volunteer of the Year policy
Summary
The council approved a revised volunteer recognition policy (v2.0) that formalizes nomination timing, expands service categories, institutes blind scoring and adds a Young Volunteer award for nominees under 25; nominations will open in February for one month.
The Piedmont City Council on Tuesday adopted a revised Volunteer and Young Volunteer of the Year policy that formalizes the nomination process, broadens service categories and adds a Young Volunteer award for people under 25.
City Clerk Anna Rao presented the revised policy (v2.0), reviewed the intended timeline and described blind scoring to reduce bias in selection. Rao said nominations will open online in February for a month and that, if adopted, council would appoint two members to a subcommittee to review top nominees. Councilors discussed modest changes to residency language so eligibility tracks service in the year under review and to allow a young nominee to be eligible if enrolled in the Piedmont School District during the year of service. The council voted unanimously to adopt the policy with those clarifications.
