The Nueces County Commissioners Court read a proclamation declaring October 2015 as Breast Cancer Awareness Month and urged residents to take part in Coastal Bend Day of Pink on Friday, Oct. 23, 2015.
The resolution, read aloud by court staff, cited local American Cancer Society fundraising and services and noted that last year Coastal Bend events raised more than $440,000 to support survivors with services such as wigs, transportation and support groups. "On behalf of the American Cancer Society and Radiology Associates, we appreciate the support of the county commissioners for this important project," said David Wilson, managing partner of Radiology Associates.
Presiding court staff asked for a motion to adopt the proclamation; a motion and a second were recorded on the record. During the floor vote an individual said, "I oppose it," but the transcript does not include a formal tally or a clear declaration that the proclamation was adopted. The court proceeded with the morning's presentations after the exchange. The transcript also contains the proclamation language referencing October 2015 and the Coastal Bend Day of Pink event on Oct. 23, 2015.
The meeting did not record additional formal action tied to this item in the transcript. Any formal adoption, implementation steps or related county actions were not specified in the record provided.
The court moved on to recognize other community partners and presentations following the proclamation reading.
