Each year, throughout the Anoka Country, October is <br />officially recognized as Domestic violence Awareness Month. Counties and cities all over the United States take <br />this opportunity to honor this month through an official proclamation. In choosing to locally proclaim October as <br />Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the City of Ramsey shows its recognition of both the gravity of the problem <br />and the importance of the ongoing work to create a violence -free community in Anoka County. Council has <br />adopted such resolution in the past, and staff is requesting Council do so for 2014 as well. <br />A copy of Ramsey's proclamation will be forwarded to Ms. Moore and will be displayed at the annual Walk for <br />Hope; Steps to End Domestic and Sexual Violence, which will be held on September 27, at Bunker Hills Regional <br />Park in Andover. Following the Walk for Hope, the proclamation will be displayed at the Alexandra House. <br />Action: <br />Motion to adopt Resolution #14-09-173 Proclaiming October 2014 Domestic Violence Awareness Month <br />Attachments <br />Res Proclaiming Domestic Violence Awareness Month <br />Form Review <br />Form Started By: Jo Thieling Started On: 08/26/2014 01:14 PM <br />Final Approval Date: 08/26/2014 <br />
