Travis County Commissioners Court
September 29, 2009,
Item 3
3.
approve proclamation recognizing the 26th annual national night out event on October 6, 2009.
(judge Biscoe]
>> good morning, why.
>> should I read it?
>> yes, sir.
>> it reads: whereas the national association of town watch is sponsoring a unique nationwide crime and drug prevention program on October 6th, 2009, called national night out.
whereas national night out is designed to, one, heighten crime awareness, two, generate support for and participation in local anti-crime programs, three, strengthen neighborhood spirit and police community partnerships, and, four, send a message to criminals that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.
whereas the 26th annual national night out provides Travis County a unique opportunity to join forces with thousands of other communities around the world in promoting cooperative police and community crime and drug prevention efforts; whereas the Travis County sheriff's office plays a vital role in establishing joint crime and drug prevention efforts in Travis County, and is supporting national night out, 2009, locally, whereas the Travis County sheriff's office encourages all citizens to become aware of the importance of crime prevention programs and the impact their individual and collective participation can have on reducing crime and drug abuse in Travis County, and whereas the police community partnerships and neighborhood safety and awareness cooperation are important themes of the national night out program.
now, therefore, be it resolved that we the members of the Travis County Commissioners court encourage all residents of Travis County to join the sheriff's office and other local law enforcement agencies, local business sponsors, and the national association of crime watch in supporting the 26th annual national night out and I move approval.
>> second.
>> good morning.
>> thank you, judge.
i have copied each and every one of you on the list of those participants signed up with national night out in the county and some in the city as well.
you will get the updated list the day before national night out.
i would ask at this time that the Commissioners would take a picture with the proclamation and the national night out.
>> we had to take that and vote it down.
>> [laughter] all in favor?
passes by unanimous vote.
let's vote for it first, we would hate to take the picture and vote it down.
