Sunbury declares July 'Disability Pride Month' in council proclamation
Summary
Mayor Josh Brocious read and the council adopted a proclamation recognizing July as Disability Pride Month and affirming the city's support for residents with disabilities.
Mayor Josh Brocious read a proclamation during the meeting declaring July as Disability Pride Month in the City of Sunbury and affirming the city’s commitment to equity and inclusion for people with disabilities.
The proclamation described disabilities as part of the city’s diverse population and said the city "believes in the dignity of all individuals with disabilities, supporting equity and ensuring the acts of discrimination in hatred will not be positive." It called on community members to celebrate achievements of residents with disabilities and to consider policies and practices that support participation and independence.
Mayor Brocious formally presented the proclamation to attendees at the meeting. The proclamation did not create a new city program or budget line; it was an official recognition and call for community observance.
No formal action beyond the proclamation (such as ordinance or budget appropriation) was taken during the meeting; the proclamation functions as a symbolic recognition and a public statement of the council’s stated values.
