Proclamations

Proclamations are official declarations by the Mayor and are issued at his discretion. Proclamations are not intended to serve as a forum for free expression by the public.

Proclamations can commemorate special events, occasions, or a significant cause of importance to the Marana community. Proclamations can also formally recognize a citizen, organization, or Town employee. These proclamations are ceremonial in nature and do not carry the force of law.
