Commissioners agree to draft proclamation honoring local champions

At the Dec. 29 meeting, an item was added asking staff to prepare a proclamation recognizing local champions and to invite them to speak to the county about their accomplishments.

Unidentified Speaker 1 named several local competitors—Taylor Munson, Franklin Brooker, Carrie Nixon and Jacob Edler—and suggested the county should honor them with a proclamation and invite them to explain their achievements to the commission. Unidentified Speaker 3 suggested drafting a proclamation that states the date of the honor and the accomplishments being recognized.

Unidentified Speaker 1 said the recognition would be meaningful to the community and asked that the request be put on the agenda for the next meeting so the honorees could come and describe “how big the deal it is.” No formal proclamation text was recorded in the transcript; the action recorded was a direction to place the question on the next agenda and invite the individuals.

The transcript lists several local names for potential recognition and recommends staff prepare a proclamation stating the date and particulars before the next meeting.
