Proclamation
Used as educational tools, Proclamations are issued by the Mayor to build awareness on a range of topics. Requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and are issued at the Mayor's discretion. The Mayor's Office reserves the right to edit all draft language. These documents are strictly ceremonial and not legally binding. The Mayor's Office reserves the right to deny any request. Proclamations are not automatically reissued each year. Please let us know if your request is for an annual event or has been issued by our office in prior years.
If you would like to request a Proclamation or a Citation, please fill out the form below at least 10 business days before the print or event deadline. Hard copies of this form are also available at the Mayor's Office. You will be notified once the document is ready at City Hall for pickup. If you would like to request the Citation or Proclamation be presented by the Mayor at an event or City Council meeting, please first complete this form and then email Ligia Madeira at or call 508-821-1000 for scheduling. Regular City Council meetings are normally scheduled Tuesday evenings at 7 pm.
