The council presented a ceremonial acknowledgment on July 15 to 16‑year‑old lifeguard Davian Herrera for rescuing a 9‑year‑old, Jude, at Copper Sky on June 7. The mayor introduced the family and invited the mother and child to address the council.

What family said: Natalie Davis, identified in the meeting as Jude’s mother, read a letter describing the incident and thanking Davian for his quick action. "How do you thank someone for saving your child's life? That's the question I've been asking myself every single day since June 7 at Copper Sky," Davis read. She wrote that Davian "didn't hesitate. He didn't panic. He saved her life. Because of Davian, I still get to hold my daughter."

The child’s note: Nine‑year‑old Jude Wright Johnson read a short note to Davian: "Dear Davian, thank you for saving my life at the pool. You are my real life superhero, and I will never forget you."

City recognition: Mayor Smith and council members invited the family and lifeguard to the dais for applause and acknowledged Davian’s actions publicly. The presentation was ceremonial; no council action or resolution was recorded in the meeting minutes for this item.

Context: The presentation was in the proclamations/acknowledgments portion of the agenda to recognize an employee’s lifesaving action and to thank public safety‑adjacent staff for on‑duty responses.
