County committees adopt proclamations recognizing Child Abuse Prevention Month, Fair Housing Month and Public Safety telecommunicators; EMS awards and park PARD
Summary
Berkeley County committees issued multiple proclamations and recognitions and approved several PARD grant awards and a resolution recognizing Habitat for Humanity as a CHDO.
Multiple Berkeley County committees opened meetings with proclamations and recognitions, including a proclamation designating April 2025 as Child Abuse Prevention Month, a proclamation for National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week (April 13–19, 2025), and a proclamation designating April 2025 as Fair Housing Month.
County staff also recognized Central Berkeley Fire and EMS personnel who received state EMS awards, naming Megan Jones as the state's EMT of the year and other local award winners. On committee consent, the Committee on Community Services combined and approved a slate of PARD grants for park improvements and awarded Summer Reading and Learning Program funds; committee members combined agenda items A through E and approved grants for tennis courts, concessions/restrooms, a basketball court, a splash pad and a countywide summer reading program.
The Community Services Committee also unanimously adopted a resolution recognizing Habitat for Humanity as a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO), a designation tied to community housing program participation.
Speakers at these items thanked county leaders and staff for ongoing support and partnership; no formal votes or contested debate were recorded for the proclamations and recognitions beyond standard voice votes to adopt the items and accept grant awards.
