Summary

At a City of Baker council meeting the council unanimously approved proclamations recognizing March as Multiple Sclerosis Month and National Kidney Awareness Month and April as Child Abuse Prevention Month; Doctor Vincent led the measures and the city attorney read the proclamation language.

The City of Baker City Council unanimously adopted three health- and child-safety–focused proclamations during its meeting. Doctor Vincent, a council member, introduced the first proclamation declaring March 2026 as Multiple Sclerosis Month and asked the city attorney to read the formal language.

City Attorney Mary Barkin read the text for the multiple sclerosis proclamation, including its description of MS as “a chronic, often debilitating neurological disease of the central nervous system affecting 2,300,000 people worldwide.” Doctor Vincent moved adoption and the council approved the measure by voice vote; Vincent said the proclamation would be forwarded to the organization’s headquarters.

Doctor Vincent then introduced a proclamation recognizing March 2026 as National Kidney Awareness Month. Barkin read the Whereas clauses noting the estimate of about 30,000,000 Americans with kidney disease and risk factors such as diabetes and high blood pressure. Doctor Vincent moved adoption; the council seconded and approved the proclamation by voice vote.

Doctor Vincent also moved adoption of a proclamation declaring April 2026 Child Abuse Prevention Month in Baker. Barkin read the resolution text emphasizing community and family responsibilities to protect children; the council approved the proclamation by voice vote.

The council’s actions were procedural proclamations and do not create binding legal obligations. Each proclamation was recorded on the meeting’s minutes and will be circulated to the organizations named in the text.
