MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Kersten Elverum, Planning & Economic Development Director
DATE: December 6, 2022
SUBJECT: 2022 Hopkins Community Image Awards
______________________________________________________________________________
Each year the City of Hopkins recognizes certain properties for their contribution toward the
positive image of the community. Awards are grouped in three categories—
Commercial/Industrial/ Office, Multi-Family Residential, and Single-Family Residential.
Nominations are sought from the public through August and a review committee determines
which nominated properties receive awards. Each property that receives at least four of the five
review committee votes receives an award. There is no limit to the number of properties that
can be awarded, but winners from the last 10 years are not considered.
This year the review committee consisted of business representative Danny McDonald from
State Farm, residents Rosetta Muhammad and Jodie Arfmann, and City staff members Garrett
Grniet and Muse Mohamed.
The following three properties were selected by the committee:
• Commercial/Industrial/Office:
o Bear Cave Brewing – 1201 Mainstreet
• Single-Family Residential:
o The Mussmans – 226 7th Avenue North
• Multi-Family Residential:
o The Burnes Building – 604 Mainstreet
