Proclamations may be issued by the Mayor for civic celebrations, non-profit organizations, and significant events with importance to the citizens of Phoenix. Proclamations taking sides in matters of political controversy or addressing personal convictions will not be issued. Proclamations may recognize a day, week or month. The Mayor’s Office reserves the right to modify or deny any proclamation request. In order to have a proclamation prepared in a timely manner, a proclamation request form must be completed. (Download a copy of this form below.)

Proclamations are issued in honor of individuals on 100th birthday and beyond and for recognition of someone who has made significant contributions of importance to the Village of Phoenix.  In order for the Mayor to issue a proclamation or commendation letter in honor of an individual, the following information is required:

• The date the document is needed
• Biographical information for the individual
• Significant contributions of the individual
• The date and type of event being planned for the individual
• The name, address and telephone number of the requestor

Submitting Your Request For Proclamations and Commendations

To have a proclamation considered for issuance by the Mayor, complete a "Proclamation Request Form" and return it to the Village of Phoenix Clerk.   Requests should be submitted two weeks in advance.  Once signed by the Mayor, the original proclamation is either returned to the requestor or presented by the Mayor.   The issuance of a proclamation does not constitute an endorsement by the Village of Phoenix.
