Proclamations

Proclamation Information & Guidelines


Proclamations, a ceremonial service offered by the Mayor, are strictly honorary and not legally binding. They are provided as a service to Broadview Heights residents, employers, and organizations, aiming to honor and celebrate events and increase citizens' awareness of noteworthy issues. It's important to note that issuing a proclamation does not necessarily constitute an endorsement by the City of Broadview Heights.



All requests must be submitted in writing via email to lputka@broadview-heights.org Please submit your request with the information below at least ten business days prior to the date you need the Proclamation. The only exception to this rule is for condolence requests, which should be made as soon as possible after a person's passing.


  • The purpose of the proclamation
  • The date the Proclamation is needed
  • The date of the event
  • 5-6 supporting facts in order of importance (Proclamations are 8.5x11 in size.)  Please note that if space is limited, the most important sentences will be selected.
