STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BEN KIM, CITY MANAGER �Al
DATE: JANUARY 27, 2026
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF ANNUAL LIST OF PROCLAMATIONS FOR CALENDAR
YEAR 2026
SUMMARY
Each year, a list of proclamations is approved for the calendar year. On January 13, 2026, City
Council meeting, Council Member Clark requested to add to the 2026 list of Proclamations,
"National Native American Heritage Month" for the month of November. Attached for the City
Council's consideration are the annual proposed 2026 Proclamations.
DISCUSSION
National Native American Heritage Month honors the culture, history, and contributions of
Native American. In 1990, President Geroge H. W. Bush designated November as National
American Heritage Month. This month recognizes the traditions, languages, and stories of Native
American, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, and affiliated Island communities, helping ensure
their rich histories and contributions are preserved for future generations.
To facilitate the process, City staff compiled a list of routine proclamations (Attachment A)
approved on an annual basis. By approving a list annually, staff will coordinate proclamation
presentations with ample time. Any item not on the list will be presented to the City Council for
discussion and approval before officially declaring the proclamation.
Proclamations are ceremonial documents to honor an individual or organization, celebrate or
create awareness or commemorate a particular day, month, or year. The following procedure to
issue any future proclamations is:
• A list of Proclamations, routine in nature for regional or statewide events or recognitions
will be approved under the Consent Calendar on an annual basis. These Proclamations
are automatically agendized under Presentations without City Council discussion.
• New proclamation requests will be agendized for discussion and City Council direction.
The item will be agendized and presented at the next City Council meeting if approved.
