It is time to present the awards for the 2003 Hopkins Community Image Awards. The awards
are given annually to individuals and businesses that have made a visual improvement to their
property or have demonstrated continued superior maintenance of their property, which in turn
has a significant positive impact on the image of the City of Hopkins.
Nominations for this year's awards were accepted throughout the year and the five - member
HCIA Review Committee has recently reviewed those nominated properties and made their
selections. Three properties and their owners were recommended to receive awards which will
be presented at the October 21, 2003 Hopkins City Council Meeting. Awards consist of a
commemorative plaque and a gift certificate for Bellisimo (located at Marketplace Lofts). The
following homes /owners will receive Community Image Awards:
SINGLE - FAMILY RESIDENTIAL
Mark and Lisa Curtis — 43 18 Avenue North
The Curtis' home is very well maintained, with attractive new siding, shutters and landscaping. New
trees, bushes and ornamental grasses have made a very positive impact on the home's "curb appeal." As
several of the judges commented, the Curtis' have obviously put a lot of work into improving the
exterior of their home.
Sandra Shinger and Bob Asseldt —18 Jackson Avenue South
Since moving in two years ago, Sandra and Bob have removed unsightly, overgrown trees and shrubs,
installed new siding and windows, added a deck/porch and just recently added new grass and plantings.
The neat and well- maintained home was nominated by neighbors who stated that the home adds
"wonderful appeal to the neighborhood."
MULTI - FAMILY RESIDENTIAL
Citigables — 32 11 Avenue South
Citigables is an owner - occupied condominium where every resident takes pride in the appearance of the
facility. Attractive flowers and well - trimmed shrubs and trees surround the building and create an eye -
catching facade and rear parking area. The property is meticulously maintained at all times. This is the
second time that Citigables has received a Hopkins Community Image Award.
Congratulations to this year's winners!
