Hispanic Heritage Month proclamation request
Summary
Resident Michael Marquez asked the city to restore its Hispanic Heritage Month proclamation, which hasn't been issued since 2024 despite Margate being more than 27% Hispanic or Latino. The vice mayor raised a new state law effective January 2027 that may restrict such proclamations as DEI.
