Background
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Historical Advisory Committee was tasked with drafting a policy that can be used by anyone wishing to recognize individuals, groups and organizations. In the past, recognitions were made at the bequest of the sitting Mayor or other member of the Town Council. Plaques were placed to commemorate George Adams, a Town resident who sat on the Planning Commission for 30 years; Barbara and Phillip Von Ammon, residents and founders of Paradise Valley; former mayor Joan Lincoln who designed the fountain and the Town entry monuments, was a council member, vice mayor and mayor, and sat on the Hillside Building Committee; and Diana Balazs, a Town resident who was a reporter for the Arizona Republic and wrote about Town happenings for more than 30 years. The new policy, once adopted, will provide guidelines for anyone wishing to recommend someone for recognition.
