Board recognizes Probation Services Week and introduces Hiroshima/Nagasaki remembrance resolution
Summary
Supervisors presented an honorary resolution recognizing Probation Services Week and a separate resolution commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings and urging federal leadership to prevent nuclear war; presentations included remarks from Probation and community advocates.
The board presented two honorary resolutions July 22.
Supervisor Villegas introduced a resolution recognizing Probation Services Week (July 20–26) and praised probation officers for accountability, rehabilitation work and maximizing community resources. Rochelle Gaten of the Probation Department accepted the recognition and highlighted staff sacrifice, internal recognition programs and the department's staffing challenges. Several probation staff were acknowledged on the dais.
Supervisor Bill Frerichs and Chair Vixie Sandy presented a separate resolution declaring August 6, 2025 as Hiroshima and Nagasaki Remembrance Day and urging U.S. leadership to reduce the risk of nuclear war. Speakers from the Davis Committee Against Nuclear Weapons thanked the board and noted a planned public educational event on August 6 with a keynote speaker and public commemoration.
Both items were presented as honorary resolutions and received public comment and acknowledgement from the board and invited community members; the meeting record shows presentations and community remarks but does not record a separate roll-call vote on these ceremonial items.
