Summary

Council recognized 4th-grader Vivian Parks as Highland Village mayor for the day with a proclamation and watched a short promotional video produced by resident Ben Sewell featuring Salerno's restaurant and owner Aaron Voss.

Council paused the formal meeting for a short community moment to present a mayor-for-a-day proclamation to 4th-grade student Vivian Parks of Heritage Elementary. Mayor Charlotte Wilcox read the proclamation and thanked the child and family; Vivian briefly described her favorite part of the day's activities.

After the proclamation, staff introduced a short promotional video produced with local resident Ben Sewell to highlight Highland Village restaurants. The video featured Aaron Voss, owner of Salerno's, discussing the restaurant's 40-year history and menu items. Staff said three short segments will be posted across three weeks to promote local dining.

Why it matters: community-recognition items and small-business promotion are routine agenda elements that reinforce outreach and local economic development messaging.
