Committee unanimously recommends anti‑bullying proclamation be added to October calendar

The committee voted unanimously to forward a recommendation to the city council to add an anti‑bullying proclamation to the October calendar, but members declined to pick a specific date and instead asked council to place the proclamation on the October calendar.

A member moved to recommend adding an anti‑bullying proclamation in October; another member seconded and discussion followed on whether to nominate a date or simply request calendar placement. The amended motion—asking only that council add an anti‑bullying proclamation to October's calendar—was approved by unanimous voice vote. "I'll actually get the exact verbiage from the recording. And when at the next city council meeting during other business, I'll bring that up as a new agenda item," staff said, and staff agreed to carry the recommendation to council.

The committee's decision is advisory: the city council makes final decisions on proclamations. Staff said it will provide the exact motion language in the council packet for the next available council meeting.
