The Dublin City Council will honor its Citizen, Young Citizen and Organization of 2012 at its regular meeting at 7 p.m. tonight in the Dublin Civic Center.

Former Mayor and now head of the Dublin Partners in Education program Janet Lockhart was selected Citizen of the Year. Named Young Citizen was Camille Chabot, with the Tri-Valley Youth Court winning the title of Organization of the Year.

The purpose of these awards is to recognize outstanding individuals and groups who have contributed to the quality of life in Dublin this past year.

Nomination criteria for both the Citizen and Young Citizen of the Year Awards are based on the Dublin Pride and Integrity in Action Program's 10 Characteristics: Responsibility, Respectfulness, Caring, Giving, Positive Attitude, Trustworthiness, Cooperation, Doing One's Best, Honesty, and Self-Discipline.

The Young Citizen of the Year award also recognizes the volunteer service of Dublin's youth. The award recipients were also honored earlier at an event at the Shannon Community Center.

The Organization of the Year will receive a $500 cash prize, and a $300 donation will be given to each of the Citizen and Young Citizen of the Year's favorite non-profit organization.

Information on each of the award recipients can be found on the City's website at www.dublin.ca.gov.
