RESOLUTION NO. 92- 28 <br />INTRODUCED BY: Mayor Pietrafese and Council as a Whole <br />A RESOLUTION <br />DECLARING OCTOBER 24-NOVEMBER 1 AS RED RIBBON WEER, <br />AND ENCOURAGING THE CITIZENS OF NlAYFIELD VILLAGE <br />TO PARTICIPATE IN DRUG PREVENTION EDUCATION <br />ACTIVITIES, MAKING A VISIBLE STATEMENT THAT WE <br />ARE STRONGLY COMMITTED TO A DRUG-FREE COMMUNITY. <br />WHEREAS, the scourge of illegal drugs trafficking and abuse <br />continues to be painfully visible throughout the nation, and is <br />acknowledged to be the most serious problem that the nation's <br />cities have had to face over the past several years; and <br />WHEREAS, illegal drugs have been responsible for the loss of <br />livelihood and the loss of life in virtually every community in the <br />nation; and <br />WHEREAS, the cost of fighting the war on drugs in our schools <br />and hospitals and on our streets has grown steadily over the years, <br />far outstripping the ability of local governments to maintain the <br />anti-drug efforts that are needed; and <br />WHEREAS, local leaders, in government and in the community, <br />know that the support of the people in the neighborhoods is the <br />most effective weapon they can employ in their efforts to reduce <br />the demand for illegal drugs and drive away the suppliers of those <br />drugs; and <br />WHEREAS, the National Red Ribbon Campaign has been established <br />by the National Federation of Parents for Drug Free Youth to help <br />create awareness of the drug problems facing every community, to <br />develop parent and community teams to combat illegal drugs, and to <br />promote drug-free lifestyles for America's youth. <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF MAYFIELD <br />VILLAGE, OHIO, THAT: <br />SECTION 1. That October 24=November 1, 1992, has been <br />designated National Red Ribbon Week, calling on all Americans to <br />show their support for a drug free nation by wearing a red ribbon <br />during that week. <br />SECTION 2. The Council finds and determines that all formal <br />actions of this Council relating to the adoption of this Resolution <br />have been taken at open meetings of this Council; and that <br />deliberations of this Council and of its committees, resulting in <br />such formal action, took place in meetings open to the public, in <br />compliance with all statutory requirements including the <br />requirements of Section 121.22 of the Ohio Revised Code.
