APPROVING PROCLAMATION ISSUED BY THE
MAYOR REGARDING "RINGING OF THE BELLS", AND
URGING CITIZENS TO COMPLY
WHEREAS, M. Patricia Hilligoss, Mayor of the City of Petaluma,
has issued a proclamation reading as follows:
WHEREAS, two hundred eleven years ago on July 4th, fifty-six
freedom-loving men penned democracy's greatest manifesto, the
Declaration of Independence; and,
WHEREAS, the Declaration of Independence embodies our proven
and great American principles and represents the foundation of our
nation and people. This was a divinely inspired document voicing what
our nation's founders believed would be a new arder of the ages; and,
WHEREAS, on July Fourth each year Petaluma citizens pause with
the rest of the country to pay tribute to the founding day of our
nation and to reaffirm our deep and unwavering belief in our rich
American heritage and principles; and,
WHEREAS, we must, however, do more than make this a day of
rest and vacation. We must let the rest of the world know that we do
"hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights .
To secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving
their just powers from the consent of the governed. "
NOW, THEREFORE, I, M. Patricia Hilligoss, Mayor of the City of
Petaluma, do hereby proclaim a city-wide
"RINGING OF THE BELLS"
for four minutes at 11:00 a.m. daylight time on July Fourth as a solemn
tribute to our country's founders and as a rededication to our national
unity and our undying devotion to our country and for what it stands ."
WHEREAS, this Council heartily concurs in the statements made
above,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE_ IT RESOLVED that this Council strongly
urges the citizens of the City of Petaluma to comply with the city-wide
"RINGING OF THE BELLS: for a period of four minutes at 11:00 a.m.
