Allocate $6,000 to support 2025 Juneteenth celebration
In Plain English
The city's annual Juneteenth celebration faces a $6,000 funding shortfall that threatens youth programming and other event components. The city already provides $20,000 annually for the celebration, which commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. If approved, this one-time funding ensures the full event happens as planned, including youth activities and community programming.
