Mayor highlights state civility resolution advanced by Dolton pastor and state representative
Summary
The mayor announced that Dolton resident Reverend Anthony Williams worked with State Representative Will Davis to secure approval of a state-funded civility resolution in Illinois and said Williams will present the measure to the board at a future meeting.
During the mayor's report, the mayor highlighted a state-level civility resolution advanced by a local pastor. "Our very own Dolton resident, Reverend Anthony Williams has been able to work with state representative Will Davis to get a state funded civility resolution approved now for the state of Illinois," the mayor said, and added that Williams "will present at some subsequent board meetings."
The mayor characterized the resolution as a call for neighborly conduct and said the pledge is intended to encourage civil behavior across levels of government and in local interactions. The mayor acknowledged some may see the measure as "words on paper," but framed it as a tool to promote civility in the community.
No formal board action occurred during the report; the mayor said the topic would return to the agenda when Reverend Williams presents to the board.
