CC - Item 4C - Request to Approve Code Enforcement Officer Appreciation Week for October 6-12, 2025 ProclamationROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BEN KIM, CITY MANAGER
DATE: OCTOBER 14, 2025
SUBJECT: REQUEST TO APPROVE CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER
APPRECIATION WEEK FOR OCTOBER 6-12, 2025 PROCLAMATION
SUMMARY
A request to consider a proclamation for "Code Enforcement Officer Appreciation Week" from
October 6-12, 2025. Code Enforcement Officers help keep our communities safe and healthy
across California by enforcing local, state, and federal rules. Their work covers everything from
building and zoning to housing, animal control, and overall public safety.
In 2018, the California Legislature recognized their important role by passing Assembly
Concurrent Resolution (ACR) 283, officially making the second week of October "Code
Enforcement Officer Appreciation Week" every year.
DISCUSSION
Proclamations are ceremonial documents to honor an individual or organization, celebrate or
create awareness or commemorate a particular day, month, or year. Proclamations are designated
by a specific event and date; therefore, to simplify the process, City staff compiled a list of
routine proclamations that have been presented in the past. On June 14, 2021, the City Council
approved the new procedure to issue any future proclamations:
Proclamations on the list of Approved Proclamations will be automatically agendized
under Presentations without City Council discussion.
New proclamation requests not listed on the approved list of proclamations will be
agendized for discussion and City Council direction. If approved, the new proclamation
will be agendized and presented at the next City Council meeting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council approve the proclamation request for "Code Enforcement Officer
Appreciation Week" from October 6-12, 2025, and present proclamation at a subsequent
meeting.

protecting lives and improving neighborhoods, as are emergency personnel such as
police, fire and emergency medical services; and

codes, and regulations; and
