Thanks Linda & Jim,
Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions.
When do you anticipate the proclamation to be declared? I need to know to be able to accept it.

Mr. Mayor,
Would you please proclaim May as Bike Month in Morgantown? Following is the suggested content for a proclamation. I have copied Linda Little since she usually creates the proclamation document.
Proclamation Whereas, Bicycle Friendly Communities attract highly educated residents that create diversified robust local economies; Whereas, the City of Morgantown has been recognized by the League of American Bicyclists as a Bicycle Friendly Community; Whereas, the City of Morgantown has a vision that all residents can enjoy bicycling safely and fearlessly anytime, anyplace for any reason; Whereas, Morgantown has a goal that by 2020, 5% of all trips in and through Morgantown will be made by bicycle; Whereas, Morgantown is implementing a Greater Morgantown Bicycle Plan to realize its vision and achieve its goal; Whereas, May is National Bike Month; Now, Therefore, I, Jim Manilla, Mayor of the City of Morgantown do hereby proclaim the month of May 2013 as Bike Month in the City of Morgantown and encourage all citizen's to support bicycling within our community and to enjoy this activity's many benefits.
For the past 3 years, the Mayor has proclaimed May as Bike Month in Morgantown. I hope you will do so again this year and perhaps doing so could re-energize us to return our attention to implementing the Greater Morgantown Bicycle Plan that City Council unanimously adopted last May.
