Summary

Members highlighted October themes including LGBTQ History Month, National Coming Out Day (Oct. 11), Indigenous Peoples' Day (Oct. 12), and National Disability Employment Awareness Month as options to consider for city proclamations.

Scott Jones noted several October observances as potential proclamation topics, saying, "another one — national coming out day on October 11, and then Indigenous Peoples' Day is October 12." Commissioners also discussed LGBTQ History Month and National Disability Employment Awareness Month as possibilities to include in the subcommittee worksheet.

The subcommittee did not decide on a single topic; instead members agreed to list these observances on the shared spreadsheet, self-assign research and partner outreach, and return with recommendations so the full commission can review a draft by the Aug. 31 target date.
