Just wanted to take a minute a acknowledge the good work that members of the police department in addition to their regular important duties. They are constantly invovled in a good cause and recently I was able to participate in giving and receiving awards based upon the community involvement of our police force.
Recently acting for the Mayor at a City Council meeting I was able to recognize and present police and community partners for their efforts in the 2009 Giving tree program. Officers with help from the business community helped to organize the program of acquiring holiday gifts for underprivileged children. This past years giving tree was successful in helping a record number of families and all invovled should be proud of their contribution. Also acting as Mayor Pro Tem I represented West Valley City at an awards dinner hosted by the Utah Committee for Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve. At this dinner West Valley City was recognized with an award for the servicemen and women that serve in the armed forces and that are also employed by West Valley City. We have had a number of distinguished employees serve our country with honor and we applaud their efforts. West Valley was also nominated for the Secretary of Defense employer support freedom award. Next week the police will serve and clean tables at the West Valley Sizzler to raise money for the Cops for Kids program. This Dinner event will occur Wednesday the 21st from 4:00-9:00 pm.
