Title
Best of Belleair Community Award and Proclamation: Belleair Country Club
Summary:
With Hurricane Irma approaching the Tampa Bay area in September of 2017, several members of our community stepped up to help prepare, bolster, and support our town in ways that deserve recognition. For this, Belleair has created the “Best of Belleair Community Award” to honor those individuals and groups.
One of these awards, with respect to the Hurricane Irma response, goes to the Belleair Country Club.

Body
Previous Commission Action: At its October 3 meeting, the Town Commission expressed its intent and readiness to honor parties that went above-and-beyond during Hurricane Irma.
Background/Problem Discussion: As Hurricane Irma prepared to make landfall in the Tampa Bay area, the Belleair Country Club made a concerted effort to support and aid Town of Belleair emergency responders. At several points before and during the storm, the Country Club provided free, hot meals to the Town’s Police Department, along with shelter and service in its dining room.
Belleair residents, employees, and elected officials alike are extremely grateful for this act by the Belleair Country Club and for the encouragement and comfort it brought to the Town’s emergency responders. As a thank you, staff has attached a proclamation thanking the Belleair Country Club for its efforts, and is ready to present a framed copy of it, along with a personalized “Best of Belleair Community Award” to a representative from the organization.
