      WHEREAS, citizens in the City of Madison have had a long-standing tradition of expressing their civic pride by helping out with environmental cleanup projects; and

      WHEREAS, the City of Madison Parks Division and the Madison Board of Park Commissioners recognize there has been substantial citizen support for the parks system in the past and encourage future support by citizens.

      NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED That the Mayor and the Common Council hereby proclaim April 22, 2006 the City of Madison Parks Division's Earth Day Clean-up Celebration and encourage citizen participation in cleanup events in city parklands.
