The swearing in for the new Council was last night. I would like to thank my fellow council members for electing me to the position of Vice Mayor. I have no doubt that this Council, with Mr. Parrish as mayor, will continue to move our fair city forward. Congratulations to the newly elected Council members. Congrats to Mr. Way for being selected to chair the land use committe – I’m sure he’ll be sick of me soon!! Congrats to Mr. Aveni for being selected as chair of the Finance committee and to Mr. Randolph as chair of personnel. Both are very important positions.

I am unsure why the Journal has refused to write a story about this important event in our City….

On another front, there is a land-use meeting tomorrow where we will discuss some ideas for the vision for the city and what that vision means. If you’re interested, stop by city hall tomorrow at 5:30, second floor conference room.

On July first at 5:30 the new City Council will be sworn in at City Hall.  Hal will be sworn in as Mayor.  Mark Wolfe, Jon Way and Steve Smith will be sworn in as Council members.  Election for Vice Mayor will take place and those officials who serve the Council directly will be reappointed. Open to the public.  Hope to see you there.
