Cook County Board approves consent calendar including ceremonial resolutions for Kefir Day, gun-violence prevention, Juneteenth and other recognitions
The Cook County Board of Commissioners approved the consent calendar by voice vote after a motion from Commissioner Trevor. "I move the consent calendar," Commissioner Trevor said; a second was recorded and the chair announced, "the ayes have it."

The items presented and acknowledged during the meeting's ceremonial and resolution reports — and therefore carried on the consent calendar — included: the Gatlin's Chapel 40th‑anniversary resolution; a resolution establishing Black Infertility and Reproductive Health Week to begin June 23, 2025; a resolution honoring Victoria Lee Moody for public service; a resolution recognizing June 6 as Gun Violence Prevention Day and urging county agencies to participate in Wear Orange; recognition of the Bridal Equity Rapid Response Team and Westside United for pandemic-response work and health-equity efforts; a proclamation marking the Chicago Urban League’s anniversary and related events; a Juneteenth recognition commemorating June 19; and a resolution declaring June 18 as Kefir (Kefir) Day to recognize Lifeway Foods and local production.

Additional ceremonial recognitions mentioned during the meeting included brief acknowledgments of the Millennium Solar Electric Training Academy and Selak (environmental justice training efforts), and resolutions noting Pride Month in June and International Yoga Day on June 21. Don Johnson, representing Lifeway Foods, addressed the board to describe the company and its local economic contributions while commissioners presented the Kefir Day resolution.

The meeting record does not show separate roll-call tallies for each resolution within the consent calendar; the board approved the entire consent calendar by voice vote. The motion to approve the consent calendar was moved by Commissioner Trevor and seconded; the chair announced the approval after the voice vote. There were no separate recorded defeats or tablings for the items listed.
