Proclamation
A proclamation is an official announcement issued by the Mayor and City Council to recognize a person or event that has significant citywide impact. The goal of a proclamation is to honor, celebrate or create awareness of an event, special occasion, cause or significant issues affecting the Redwood City community. Certain proclamations may be presented publicly at City Council meetings, or directly issued to the community member or organization. Note that proclamation requests must be made 30 days in advance if requested for a City Council meeting, and 14 days in advance if not requested for a City Council meeting. Additional information will be required to draft the proclamation.

Note that memoriam recognition is scheduled based on availability and load of the Council agenda. A copy of your loved one's obituary or biography, and photo are required.
