Mayor Bill Young read two proclamations during the commission meeting: one declaring April 2025 as Child Abuse Prevention Month in El Dorado and another declaring April 2025 as Fair Housing Month.
The child abuse prevention proclamation emphasized the importance of prevention, positive childhood experiences and community partnerships to reduce adverse childhood experiences.
