Lake Havasu City welcomes the opportunity to recognize exceptional individuals, groups, events, and programs within the city. 

Guidelines and Conditions:

  • Proclamations from the city are issued by the Mayor to honor, celebrate, or create awareness of an event, milestone, or achievement and, in rare cases, individuals of interest to the broader community.
  • National acknowledgements, events, or occasions are observed if there is a local organization or governmental entity that is a serving partner.
  • Proclamations are issued for one day, week, or month.
  • Proclamations are not legally binding, nor do they constitute an endorsement by the Mayor.
  • Reading or presentation of a proclamation will be based on the availability of the Mayor and City Council.
  • All requests for proclamations must be submitted in writing at least three weeks prior to the date needed. The Mayor’s Office reserves the right to modify or deny any proclamation request.
  • An organization does not have exclusive rights to the day, week or month of their proclamation and proclamations issued in previous years will not be automatically re-issued. A new request must be submitted and approved.
  • Final approval of all proclamation requests are given by the Mayor’s office and language may be subject to amendment.
