Resolutions Requested by the Chamber of Commerce to Recognize new Businesses

The City Manager advised that the wording on the agenda item should read
Proclamations not Resolutions. He indicated that when the Chamber of Commerce
brings a Proclamation for the City to sign we have not had those approved by
Council. The Proclamations are not a binding document, however, when the Mayor
signs any document he is signing for the entire Council. He wanted to make sure that
Council is aware, and they get to decide if the Mayor can continue to sign the
Proclamations. This ordinance will also allow the Mayor, at his discretion, to place
any Proclamation on a Council agenda for action by Council.
