Regular Meeting Minutes – June 24, 2019
WHEREAS, our nation was founded on the principle of equal rights for all people and
some of the most inspiring moments in our history have arisen from the various civil
rights movements that have brought one group after another from the margins to the
mainstream of American society; and
WHEREAS, in the movement toward equal rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender
and queer (LGBTQ) people, an historic turning point occurred 50 years ago on June 28,
1969, in New York City, with the onset of the Stonewall Riots. During these riots,
LGBTQ citizens rose up and fought against the discriminatory criminal laws that have
since been declared unconstitutional; and
WHEREAS, all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights and LGBTQ
individuals have had immeasurable impact to the cultural, civic and economic successes
of our country; and
WHEREAS, the Borough of Madison is committed to supporting visibility, dignity and
equality for LGBTQ people in our diverse community; and
WHEREAS, while society at large increasingly supports LGBTQ equality, it is essential
to acknowledge that the need for education and awareness remains vital; and
WHEREAS, this nation was founded on the principle that every individual has infinite
dignity and worth; and
WHEREAS, celebrating Pride Month brings awareness and provides support and
advocacy for Madison’s LGBTQ community and is an opportunity to take action and
engage in dialogue to strengthen alliances, build acceptance and advance equal rights;
and
WHEREAS, the rainbow flag is widely recognized as a symbol of pride, inclusion, and
support for social movements that advocate for LGBTQ people in society.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Robert H. Conley, Mayor of the Borough of Madison, on
behalf of the governing body, do hereby proclaim the month of June 2019 as Pride
Month in the Borough of Madison in support of the LGBTQ community and rainbow
flags will be displayed on Waverly Place from June 25 to July 1, 2019 recognizing all
LGBTQ residents whose influential and lasting contributions to our neighborhoods make
Madison a vibrant community in which to live, work and visit.

The Borough is awaiting the State to finalize their budget, once that is done, the
county will certify the tax rate and the Tax Collector can issue property tax bills.
For the Health Department, residents need to be aware of proper food prep and
storage during warmer summer weather. Temperatures may rise quickly in food left
unrefrigerated and may lead to a conclusive breeding environment for food borne
illness. Thursday looks like it might be a “heat advisory day”. Borough offices and
the Library will be open to provide air conditioning shelter. The most preventable
cause of skin cancer is overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. When outdoors, seek
shade, cover up with light clothing, hat, and sunglasses, apply appropriate
sunscreen products and limit time in the hottest sun between 12 noon and 3:00 p.m.
Madison Municipal Alliance with the Madison Health Department have created drug
free signs to place around the community. This is an environmental strategy to help

walking tips, sun safety, and heat prevention. Following the orientation participants
walked .3 miles to the courts. Health Inspectors are currently reviewing plans for
several new food establishments in Madison.
