ITEM 3.b. PROCLAMATION—MAYORS’ MONARCH PLEDGE DAY
Thank you, Madam Mayor. I am Jan Simek, along with Courtney Kienow, two of
the volunteers who have made Priolo-Martin Park in our neighborhood a
nurturing place for Monarch butterflies. The names of other volunteers have
been submitted to the City Clerk for the public record. We are especially grateful
to City Biologist Freddy Otte for his guidance and encouragement in our efforts on
behalf of Nature.
I have brought milkweed seed for the council members and anyone else who
would like to make their own environment more Monarch friendly.
