Akron council unanimously celebrates All‑America City designation
Summary
The Akron City Council unanimously approved a resolution congratulating the mayor, administration and community partners on Akron’s All‑America City designation by the National Civic League and declared an emergency to recognize the award.
Akron City Council on Monday unanimously approved a resolution congratulating the mayor, the city administration and community partners on the city’s All‑America City designation from the National Civic League.
Council President Margo Somerville spoke in committee and on the council floor to thank the administration and community partners for their work in winning the honor. Councilman McKittrick reported the committee’s recommendation was favorable and the council suspended the rules to pass the resolution as an emergency measure.
The motion to adopt the resolution as presented was made on the floor (recorded as mayor and council as a whole) and the vote was 12 to 0 in favor. The resolution is largely ceremonial: it recognizes the award and congratulates those involved; no ordinance, appropriation or policy change was attached to the action at the meeting.
Council President Somerville said committee discussion had been “really great” and expressed pride in the administration and partners who represented Akron in the All‑America City competition.
