Title
Proposed Name Change for Business of the Month
Proposed Motion
That Council approve the Business of the Month Award name change from "Business of the Month" to "Featured Business of the Month".
Body
Administration Recommendation
EDTAC Committee supports the name change.
Summary
At the January 14, 2013 EDTAC Meeting it was recommended that 'Business of the Month Award' changes its format to 'Featured Business of the Month'. The Business of the Month program was initiated in the spring of 2010. Recently, it has become increasingly difficult to come up with eligible Business of the Month Award recipients mainly because most of the smaller businesses do not have environmental or customer excellence programs in place. As a result, EDTAC recommends changing the name to "Featured Business of the Month" in the hope it will allow some flexibility as to what kind of businesses can be promoted. EDTAC believes "Featured Business of the Month" would be a more appropriate name for the program and would allow the Ec. Dev. Department to highlight some unique businesses in Parkland County without being restricted by the existing criteria.
Financial Impact
