The West Linn City Council held a work session on December 2, 2024, where they addressed two significant proclamations: Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day and Impaired Driving Prevention Month.

Councilor Bruner led the discussion on Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, which will be observed on December 7, 2024. He highlighted the historical significance of the day, marking the devastating attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 that led the United States into World War II. The proclamation honors the sacrifices made by American service members and encourages the community to remember and reflect on the impact of this pivotal moment in history.

Following this, Councilor Bonnington presented the proclamation for December 2024 as Impaired Driving Prevention Month. This initiative aims to raise awareness about the dangers of impaired driving, which results in thousands of fatalities each year. The council emphasized the importance of responsible decision-making regarding alcohol and drug use while driving. They also acknowledged the efforts of law enforcement in keeping the roads safe.

Both proclamations serve to educate the community and promote remembrance and responsibility, reinforcing the council's commitment to public safety and historical awareness.
