Duggan, Mayor Attest: ________________________________ Jeanne F. Schneider, City Clerk Hi, Karen. THANKS for forwarding the text from the 2000 proclamation. The updated proclamation text is attached. We would love to receive it formally at the January 6th council meeting. Two copies would be sweet! The primary contact remains Paul Gorrell at 925 Patricia Ann Drive. He had hip surgery yesterday, so I'm picking up some of the slack. Thanks so much Karen. You Rock!!
