Fort Collins issues proclamations for community media, water awareness, arts month and recovery programs
Summary
At its Oct. 16 meeting the Fort Collins mayor read four proclamations recognizing Community Media Day, Imagine a Day Without Water, National Arts & Humanities Month and a Narconon recovery month; local nonprofit leaders and volunteers accepted the proclamations and outlined community activities.
Fort Collins Mayor Jenny (as identified in the meeting transcript) opened the Oct. 16 council meeting with four proclamations honoring local organizations and awareness days.
The first, read as a proclamation for Community Media Day, recognized FC Public Media’s role in recording public meetings and supporting local civic transparency. Jorie Kramer, identified in the public remarks as president of FC Public Media, thanked the city and urged residents to support local access media and the nonprofit’s website (fcpublicmedia.org). Kramer highlighted FCTV’s role in broadcasting candidate forums and government meetings.
The second proclamation designated Oct. 16, 2025, as Imagine a Day Without Water, citing that Fort Collins Utilities serves more than 135,000 customers, operates 500+ miles of water mains and manages two wastewater treatment facilities. A city spokesperson who accepted the proclamation stressed conservation, efficient use and the essential role of water protection for public health and local economic activity.
The third proclamation declared October 2025 National Arts & Humanities Month. Patty Smith, executive director and founder of the nonprofit Living Her Legacy, described an upcoming exhibit at the Fort Collins Creative Center (Oct. 29–Nov. 2) that will display 48 public-art panels recognizing notable women from the region and invite public visits and educational programming.
The mayor also read a proclamation recognizing Narconon Colorado and its work; a representative of the organization thanked the city and described local program history and recovery outcomes over nearly two decades.
These proclamations were ceremonial and informational; no council action was required or taken on the items.
