The proclamation award is reserved for the most significant of occasions.

Proclamation – A recognition item that designates a specific week, day, or year to honor an individual, group, event or purpose.

Residents are able to request items of recognition from the Board of County Commissioners as an expression of appreciation for their community. Information on the Town Hall schedule can be found on the website under Town Hall Meetings. The Commissioners conduct quarterly Town Meetings to accommodate residents who may be unable to attend regularly scheduled meetings. If so, that notice will be posted on this website, Board Docs and will be provided to local media outlets. Notice for these open meetings held for the purpose of voting to enter into closed session may have to be given on short notice. Occasionally the Board of County Commissioners has to meet on very short notice to address urgent legal matters solely with their legal counsel.
