Title
Consider a presentation recognizing the 2013 Local Legend award recipients.
Body
The Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) created the Local Legend Award in 1990 and announced the first recipients the next year.
The Local Legend Award recognizes individuals, families, businesses, groups, publications, or organizations that have had a positive and lasting impact on the culture, development, and history of Round Rock. Award winners are selected based on the following criteria:
· Importance to the City's founding or growth;
· Association with an historic place or event;
· Impact of service to the community's history, development or culture;
· Achievements that have brought honor and distinction to the City of Round Rock.
For the past several years, recipients have been selected by a Historic Preservation Commission-appointed citizen committee. This year the Committee included Kami Barron, Jesus Franco, Rufus Honeycutt, Cathy Kincaid, Dora Owens, and Dale Ricklefs.
The Committee's selections were affirmed by the Historic Preservation Commission at its August 20th work session. The recipients of the Local Legend Award receive a certificate, are honored by the City Council, and their names are added to a perpetual plaque which includes all past winners. HPC Chairman Jerry Hodges will be present at the Council meeting to announce this year's recipients.
