Recommendation
Staff recommends the Mayor and Council read, approve, and present the proclamation to Linda Moran, Assistant to the Rockville City Manager.
Discussion
Local government offers residents an opportunity to be heard and to influence the course of their community. The Maryland Municipal League promotes Municipal Government Works Month every year to increase residents’ awareness of and engagement with their local government.
Celebrating Municipal Government Works Month is also one of the requirements to be designated a “Banner City” by MML. The MML Banner City Program was established in 2007 to encourage and reward exceptional participation by cities and towns in MML programs and activities, and to foster teamwork among municipal officials to achieve program criteria. The Banner City Program runs from June 1 to May 25. The City of Rockville earned its first designation in June 2011 and has received the designation each year since then.
