2. Procedure Section a. Deleted the third and fourth sentence of the first paragraph. b. Awarding a KCP, particularly to a distinguished non-resident, may not be conducive to a singular event, but may be better left flexible in order to determine what moment in time, and where, is most meaningful and appropriate. c. By removing the fourth sentence, it allowed us to remove the third sentence while also addressing the reality that perhaps no KCPs will be issued in any given year because this policy is no longer tied to a specific event like the annual banquet. 3. Eligibility Section a. Added "impactful" to the first sentence. b. Deleted the third sentence. c. Needed to remove the language limiting the KCP to residents, thus opening it up to distinguished non-residents. But it would therefore be appropriate to remove the language prohibiting compensation for the act being honored as some (including distinguished non-residents such as the President, Governor, Athlete, etc.) may have been compensated for the work they did. That doesn't make their work any less impactful to the community and worth honoring with a KCP. BUDGET: The City currently has 17 keys to the city available for this program.
