Blacksburg mayor proclaims National Gun Violence Awareness Day; council approves consent items
Summary
Mayor Michael Sutphin proclaimed June 5, 2026, National Gun Violence Awareness Day and the council unanimously approved a two‑item consent agenda, including minutes and a $105,000 CIP transfer.
Mayor Michael Sutphin read a proclamation declaring Friday, June 5, 2026, National Gun Violence Awareness Day and urged residents to "support their local community's efforts to prevent the tragic impacts of gun violence and to save lives." The proclamation, read at the opening of the council meeting, noted national statistics on gun deaths and wounded individuals and recognized members of Moms Demand Action in attendance.
The council then considered a two‑item consent agenda: approval of the town council minutes for May 12 and Resolution 5 C 26, described during the meeting as transferring $105,000 between capital improvement program (CIP) fund projects. A motion and second were made and the clerk called the roll; the members present voted aye and the consent agenda passed. The transcript records the roll call responses as Campbell, Ford, Goodhart, Kasoff, Sutphin and Anderson voting aye; Oliver was listed as absent earlier in the meeting.
Sutphin thanked those who attended and noted upcoming meetings: a work session on June 2 at the Blackstock Motor Company building and the next regular council meeting on Tuesday, June 9 at 6:30 p.m., after which he adjourned the meeting.
