Saturday morning in the office catching up from a long week...well actually it was a short one with the Independence Day holiday on Monday and our administrative offices being closed. It was a pretty busy week starting with the City Council meeting on Tuesday including the seating of new members Michelle Dolan and Ben Zandi and the appointment of David Shumaker as Mayor and Joel Staton as Vice Mayor for the coming year (and lets not forget Margaret Feierabend who ended her year as Mayor and did an outstanding job), participating in the Pick Tennessee event at the Farmers Market and a photo shoot for the ASD fund-raiser on Wednesday, another evening event with the strategic economic development plan steering committee on Thursday, and numerous meeting to close the week out on Friday. Of course the days were filled with other stuff too.
Speaking of the July 4th holiday, I'd like to thank our employees who worked that day including police, fire, dispatch, water plant, and others that maintain a presence in serving you 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Please keep in mind that while you and I are at home tucked away for the night our folks are up and about and working for you. Peace.
