Overdose Awareness Day falls outside council timeline; subcommittee shelves August proclamation
Summary
Scott Jones noted International Overdose Awareness Day is Aug. 31, which conflicts with the 10-day council submission rule and makes an August proclamation impractical this year.
Scott Jones, chair, raised International Overdose Awareness Day as a potential proclamation topic but noted a timing conflict: "Actually, the overdose International Overdose Awareness Day is August 31," he said, and the subcommittee’s review and the council’s submission deadline mean an August proclamation likely cannot be scheduled this cycle.
Melissa Kamana explained the practical result: because the city requires proclamations to be submitted at least 10 days before a council meeting, an Aug. 31 observance cannot be accommodated on short notice and the subcommittee should keep overdose awareness on the radar for a future cycle.
