CITY OF SANGER
PROCLAMATION POLICY
PURPOSE
The City of Sanger Mayor and City Council of Sanger are always honored to celebrate our staff
and citizens for special anniversaries, events, and programs. Proclamations are a formal
declaration by the Mayor in honor of a day/week/month special event. We take great pride in
our community and value the opportunity to honor the groups, organizations, and institutions
that make Sanger a place we are proud to call home.
Proclamations will not be issued for business groundbreaking, ribbon-cutting, or grand-opening
events. Whenever possible, a sample proclamation or wording should be provided. One formal
presentation copy will be provided at no charge; additional copies will be available upon
request.
GUIDELINES
All ceremonial requests are subject to final approval by the Mayor and/or City Council. The City
of Sanger reserves the right to:
a) edit all requests to reflect the City's vision, mission, and goals; and
b) decline any request without further details.
Requests for a proclamation should have a specific local connection with the City of Sanger
unless the request involves a special significance to the City, region, or state, as determined by
the Mayor.
As a municipal government, the City of Sanger is non-partisan and, therefore, does not issue
proclamations or consider ceremonial requests that are political or potentially controversial in
nature.
All requests for Proclamations should be made to the City Secretary's Office via email at
citvsecretary@sangertexas.org. When submitting a request, please provide clear and detailed
information, including sample wording, key facts about the subject, and enough details to
create at least four to five bullet points. Be sure to include the contact information for a person
we can reach with any questions.
