Staff recommended the commission submit a nomination for the Mike Gotch Excellence in Public Service Award (Innovation, Collaboration, Outreach), saying the commission's restructured five‑year municipal service review program used a multi‑agency approach and covered 62 agencies between 2020 and 2025.
"The commission's decision to embark on revamping its municipal service review program using a multi agency approach and review categories has allowed staff to comprehensively evaluate multiple cities and special districts within a given year," staff said, noting the nomination would highlight improved transparency and efficiency in boundary decisions. A motion to move forward with the nomination as proposed by staff passed unanimously on roll call.
