Council issues proclamations and highlights local events; members urge volunteers and celebrate school winners
Summary
Mayor Wallace introduced proclamations for Week of the Young Child and Library Week; councilmembers promoted a monthly food distribution, donated circus tickets and reflected on a low‑turnout Easter egg hunt and student success at a county art contest.
Mayor Johann Wallace presented two proclamations on April 9: Proclamation No. 2026‑06 declaring April 11–17, 2026, as Week of the Young Child and Proclamation No. 2026‑07 declaring April 19–25, 2026, as Library Week. Motions were made to open these items for discussion; the transcript does not record final adoption votes for those proclamations.
Councilmembers used the reports portion of the meeting to promote local events and volunteer opportunities. Councilmember Cynthia Butterworth described the town’s monthly food distribution (third Friday) and requested volunteers. Mayor Pro Tem Christy Hirshberg said donated circus tickets were available to help families in need. Councilmember Nallely Arreola encouraged parents to enter a library contest for free circus tickets. Councilmember Geovona Thompson, describing the recent Easter egg hunt, said, "I did participate in the Easter egg hunt this year... Unfortunately, we had a very, very low turn out for it," and asked for better advance publicity next year. Mayor Wallace also congratulated Huachuca City School students who placed in a county‑wide water‑wise art contest hosted by Sierra Vista.
The proclamations and community reports were presented for council consideration; staff follow‑up on volunteer coordination, publicity for events and any proclamation documentation was indicated.
