Farmington council proclaims Sept. 1723 as Constitution Week
Summary
Council unanimously approved Resolution No. 2025-2009 declaring Sept. 1723 as Constitution Week and recognized a local Daughters of the American Revolution representative.
The Farmington City Council voted unanimously to approve Resolution No. 2025-2009 declaring Sept. 17 through Sept. 23, 2025, as Constitution Week in the city. The resolution notes the framing of the U.S. Constitution in 1787 and urges citizens to "reaffirm the ideals of the framers" and to protect the freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution.
Why it matters: Constitution Week is a ceremonial observance many local governments adopt to mark the anniversary of the 1787 Constitutional Convention, and the resolution references federal practice for annual proclamations.
At the meeting, Mayor Duckett read the resolution's whereas clauses and invited Martha from the Daughters of the American Revolution to accept a signed proclamation following council approval. "We'll get you a copy of the signed proclamation," the mayor said.
Council action: The council adopted Resolution No. 2025-2009 by a single motion on the consent agenda. The council vote carried without opposition.
Background and next steps: The resolution cites the anniversary of the framing of the U.S. Constitution in 1787 and requests citizens recognize the document and the patriotic events that commemorate it. Martha, representing the Daughters of the American Revolution, was present but did not address the council during the formal vote.
