Beautification Award Nomination Form

BEAUTIFICATION BOARD LANDSCAPE AWARDS  

Each Board Member will call in one (1) location of his/her choice, including the correct address, to the Beautification Board Secretary preceding the award meeting.  An announcement will be placed in the newspaper regarding the upcoming award(s).  This will allow residents of Cape Canaveral the opportunity to voice their nomination for the Beautification Board Landscape Award by contacting the Beautification Board Secretary.  

The Board Secretary will provide the list of nominees to the Beautification Board members who will conduct an on-site visit to these locations, and present his/her choice to the Board at the next meeting.   The Board will vote to select winner.  

The Beautification Board Secretary will send a letter of congratulations and notification to the winner.  A copy of this letter will be forwarded to the Awards Chairperson, along with the date that the award presentation will be made. The Awards Chairperson will then contact the award-winning resident/owner/manager and invite him/her to the Council Meeting for presentation of the plaque and a $25 gift certificate.  It is the duty of the Awards Chairperson to make the presentation to the winner(s) at the meeting. 

The Board Secretary will request that the Streets Department place the Beautification Award sign(s) at the appropriate location and ensure that the award(s) ceremony is placed on the City Council agenda.  It will also be the duty of the Secretary to purchase the $25 gift certificate(s) that is given to the winner.  The Board Secretary will send letters to the other nominees informing them that they had been nominated and expressing our appreciation for their contribution to the beautification of Cape Canaveral. 

As indicated above, the Spring, Summer and Fall Awards will be for one category each season; the Holiday Landscaping Award will include all three categories – Residential, Multi-Family and Commercial.

Properties can be nominated as often as warranted, but they cannot be selected as winners within two years of the last win.  

At the commencement of each calendar year, the Beautification Board Secretary will prepare a “Beautification Board Landscape Award Schedule”, and submit it to the Board for approval.

“WE NOTICED” SIGNS (rev. 9/2002)   

  In conjunction with the Landscape Awards, the Beautification Board has signs available that read, “We Noticed Your Beautification Efforts, The Beautification Board, City of Cape Canaveral”.  At any time during the year, Beautification Board members may select a site for one of these signs using the following criteria:  1)  The overall appearance or improvement of the property; 2) Variety and color; 3) and/or the neatness of someone’s landscaping and presentation.  Residents may also make recommendations for placement of the signs.  After contacting the property owner (or his/her representative) and receiving permission, the Board member will pick up a sign at the Public Works Department and place it on the property.   The member will then notify the Board Secretary of the name and address of the recipient, so she can send a letter, thanking them for their contribution to the City’s beautification.  This letter will state that they will have the sign for a period of one month.  The Board Member who places the “We Noticed” sign out will be responsible for picking it up when the month is over.  These signs may be used for any location that adds to the beauty of Cape Canaveral.

The City of Cape Canaveral takes pride in the landscaping efforts of its residents. As an incentive, the Beautification Board has initiated a program called “We Noticed”. This program allows the Board to award a sign to selected residents for a 30-day period, which reads “We Noticed Your Beautification Efforts, The Beautification Board, City of Cape Canaveral”. These signs may be used for any location that adds to the beauty of Cape Canaveral.
