What is Being Proposed?
Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martinez is proposing to transfer $438 from the Council's Community Services budget to fund a special observation of the Holodomor Day of Remembrance on November 16, 2025. The event will take place at City Hall and include the illumination of City Hall as part of the commemoration.
Why?
The Holodomor Day of Remembrance honors the victims of the Holodomor, the devastating famine in Soviet Ukraine (1932-1933). This motion allows Council District 13 to hold a special observance and ensure City Hall participates in remembering this historical tragedy through symbolic illumination.
