Commission issues proclamations for EMA storm-readiness and honors Claudette Colvin

The Commission presented a proclamation recognizing Montgomery County Emergency Management Agency and Wade Lyles for the county's designation as "storm ready" by the National Weather Service, thanking EMA staff for preparedness efforts and offering the Commission's support. Commissioners praised Wade Lyles and his team for their preparedness work and gathered for a photograph following the proclamation.

The body also read and adopted a resolution honoring Claudette Colvin for refusing to give up her seat on a Montgomery city bus in 1955 at age 15, noting her role as a named plaintiff in Browder v. Gayle, the federal case that helped end bus segregation. The resolution, read aloud by an unidentified speaker, called on residents to reflect on Colvin's legacy and recommit to fairness and equality; it was signed by Chairman Doug Singleton, Vice Chair Carmen Morzegor, Commissioner Daniel Harris Jr., Commissioner Justin Costanza and Commissioner Isaiah Sankey.

Ending: Commissioners offered brief remarks of appreciation to EMA staff and attendees and moved on to the consent agenda.
