A proclamation to <br /> acknowledge April 2026 as County Government Month is attached. <br /> This year's national theme is "Brilliant Ideas at Work." The theme encourages counties, parishes <br /> and boroughs to feature their most innovative and successful programs — those truly making a <br /> difference in residents' lives. <br /> To celebrate County Government Month, the Community Relations Department will coordinate a <br /> social media campaign showcasing County employees and the important work they do. Staff will <br /> also spotlight some of the County's most successful and innovative programs. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with consideration of the <br /> proclamation. <br /> ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLAN: This item supports all the Goals of the Strategic Plan. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve and authorize the <br /> Chair to sign the proclamation. <br />
