Title
2026 PROCLAMATION LIST
Body
Summary and Background Information:
Historically the City Council, staff, and outside agencies and groups have requested proclamations for various events, holidays, recognition months, and to honor groups and individuals in the City. A large portion of the proclamations that the City Council issues are routine and issued every year. In order to more formalize the issuance of routine proclamations, staff has prepared a list of recurring proclamations from years' past for Council to approve ahead of 2026. If approved, these proclamations will be automatically added to the appropriate City Council agendas to be read by title on the Consent Agenda. Under Council Policy, Council may choose to remove no more than two proclamations each meeting from the Consent Agenda to have read in full separately. For dates with more than two proclamations on the Consent Agenda, Council will have to choose which two proclamations to remove and have read separately and take a photo with those present.
City staff are requesting City Council Members review the list of the proposed 2026 proclamations and provide any additions or changes to the list. Once City Council has made their requested changes, a motion to approve the list of 2026 proclamations (as amended) would be appropriate.

Staff Member Presenting: Acting City Clerk Kim Garland
