“You come every single day without fanfare. But if everyone could see you in action as I have, they would know what I know, and that is that you deserve praise beyond measure.”
Due to achange in state law, the new Mayor and council can’t be sworn-in before December 1st. But the current terms expire November 13th. Council passed a resolution to extend reelected councilmembers terms an additional two weeks and that of Mayor Pro Tem Travis Radina.
