THANK YOU
I wish to take this opportunity
to thank the voters of Palmer for
the privilege of serving for three
years on the City Council. These
years, I believe, have brought
visible progress to the city as
well as stability to its financial
structure. The next few years |
will offer mayor and council an
even greater challenge in their
•efforts to make Palmer a better
town to live in. It is with a tinge
of regret that mine will be only
a supporting role in this improve
ment, although that is an impor
tant one for all of us.
I shall not be a candidate for
re-election to the council this
year. As executive secretary of
the League of Alaskan Cities it
is my very pleasant responsibil
ity to work for the benefit of Pal
mer and all other Alaskan cities,
but there ma ybe times when the
job will take me away from the
city. Made deeply conscious
these past few months of the dis
astrous effect of council meeting
absences on progress of city
business and the general welfare, i
I feel obliged to “sit this one'
out.” The business before the
council this coming year will be
too important to risk delays. I
should not want to be one of
those responsible for the coun
cil’s lacking a quorum.
Again my thanks for your sup
port and encouragement.
