Proclamation requests are received through the Office of the City Council or the Office of the City Clerk and are placed on the agenda for consideration by the City Council. Proclamations are not statements of policy of individual viewpoints, support or affiliation; recognition is from the City Council as a body. The City Council reserves the right to approve or deny a request.
Upon approval, staff will process the proclamation and coordinate presentation or distribution of the proclamation. Per the policy, if approved, the proclamation will be presented at the event, when applicable.
