TO: Village Council
FROM: Thomas G. Bradford, Village Manager
DATE: February 17, 2000
SUBJECT: Resolution in Support of Florida Citizenship and Leadership Day;
Agenda Item
On March 10, 2000, the birthday of former Florida Governor LeRoy Collins, the State will
honor his spirit and his example as a great Floridian by declaring his birthday "Florida
Citizenship and Leadership Day." This will be the State's opportunity to honor those citizens
that help Florida grow, prosper and flourish through active involvement and leadership.
Participation in this event is voluntary and will be carried out by grass roots efforts. As a means
for gathering support for this idea, State Representative Marjorie Turnbull passed House
Resolution 9143, outlining the goals and objectives for the day. The Florida League of Cities
supports this event and encourages its members to adopt a similar resolution or a proclamation
to recognize and commemorate "Florida Citizenship and Leadership Day."
