At the April 19 city council meeting, Mayor Jake Spano read a proclamation honoring the tireless work of city volunteers and board/commission members.

• Assisting the nature center with trail and maintenance projects, programming, receptionist coverage, animal care and event support
• Adopting 97 hydrants through the Hydrant Hero program, keeping them clear of snow in the winter and plant overgrowth in the summer
• Tending to more than 40 parks and public spaces and 24 gardens on a regular basis
• Painting fire hydrants – now on its fifth year.
• Supporting community events
• Providing recommendations on grant approval and review of other health and wellbeing initiatives through the Health in the Park program
• Serving on 12 different boards and commissions
