Carroll County proclaims April Sexual Assault Awareness Month; Riverview Center invites public to 'Evening of Light'
Summary
The board approved a proclamation recognizing April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month and received an invitation from Riverview Center to an Evening of Light event in Dubuque, Iowa, featuring Jim Schmidt as keynote speaker. The board also approved a Motorcycle Awareness Month proclamation.
The Carroll County Board on April 2 approved a proclamation recognizing April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
A representative from Riverview Center invited county officials and the public to attend 'Evening of Light' in Dubuque, Iowa; the meeting record lists Jim Schmidt, identified as the stepfather of Gabby Petito, as the keynote speaker. Susan Jacobs moved to approve the proclamation, David Soldat seconded, and the motion carried.
In the same meeting the board also approved a proclamation recognizing Motorcycle Awareness Month after a motion by William Iske and a second by Susan Jacobs.
Why it matters: Proclamations signal the county’s formal recognition of awareness campaigns and may direct county departments to promote related community resources. The Riverview Center event is offered as a community resource outside the county; the board did not allocate county funds to the event.
What happens next: The proclamations were approved by unanimous vote and will be entered into the meeting record. No further board action was taken at the meeting to fund or direct implementation of awareness activities.
