REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> Date: June 7, 2010 <br /> Item No.: <br /> Department Approval City Manager Approval <br /> Item Description: <br /> BACKGROUND <br /> As an unwritten policy,based on the League of Minnesota Cities' Cultural Diversity initiative, <br /> Roseville recognizes cultural heritage months officially recognized by the U.S. Congress. These <br /> months include: <br /> • Black History Month(February) <br /> • Women's History Month (March) <br /> • Asian Pacific American Heritage Month (May) <br /> • Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15 - October 15) <br /> • American Indian Heritage Month(November) <br /> The City also recognizes other special days/events including Martin Luther King Day, Arbor <br /> Day and Kiwanis Peanut Day. On occasion the City recognizes individuals who have achieved <br /> outstanding accomplishments—Girl Scouts Gold Award, Boy Scout Eagle Badge or retirement. <br /> In addition to the cultural heritage months, Congress recognizes numerous special days, weeks <br /> and months to raise awareness about a cause. <br /> Throughout a year, numerous entities ask the City to declare a day or month honoring an <br /> individual or special interest. For example, in 2009 the City declared Jazz Month and earlier this <br /> year, the City declared Older Americans Month. These months had been recognized, while other <br /> requests have not been brought forward based on the unwritten policy. Supporters of those <br /> months wonder when some commemorative months are brought forward and others are not. <br /> POLICY OBJECTIVE <br /> Establish a policy that sets criteria to recognize various commemorative days or months. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACTS <br /> None <br /> STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br /> Establish policy to recognize various commemorative days or months. <br /> Page 1 of 2 <br />
