Use this form to request a proclamation, commendation or greeting. (Requests must be submitted at least 30 days in advance of your event to be accommodated.) There are three types of recognition the City Council may make to honor citizens and organizations important to Bellevue: Proclamations to honor an organization with an honorary day, week or month; Commendations to honor an individual for civic achievement; and Greetings welcome visitors to Bellevue meetings, conventions or special events. Only one proclamation per year may be issued per individual or organization. Requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and not all requests can be accommodated, regardless of the timing.
