Manassas Park proclaims March observances and honors retiring budget manager Toni Jenkins
Summary
The governing body proclaimed March 2026 as Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month and National Kidney Month, accepted a county representative's remarks, and recognized Toni Jenkins for 7½ years of service as budget manager; Vice Mayor Moore shared that he received a kidney transplant two years ago.
The Manassas Park governing body used part of its March 17 meeting to adopt two proclamations and to recognize a departing budget manager.
The mayor read a proclamation declaring March 2026 Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, which the body adopted by voice vote. A Prince William County representative accepted the proclamation on the county's behalf and thanked the city for continued collaboration on services for people with developmental disabilities.
The council also read and approved a proclamation recognizing March as National Kidney Month. Vice Mayor Moore read the text and shared a personal account, saying he had a kidney transplant about two years ago and urged awareness of kidney disease and the importance of screening and organ donation.
Finally, the governing body read a resolution honoring Toni Jenkins for 7½ years of service as the city's budget manager; the resolution cited her role during the 2010 housing market recovery and the COVID‑19 pandemic and was adopted by voice vote. Jenkins thanked colleagues, reflected on the challenges and learning during her tenure, and said she will remain a resident and continue attending meetings.
All three proclamations and recognitions were approved by voice vote; no individual roll‑call votes were recorded in the meeting transcript.
