[0:59]

[1:00]
The life of this community. As
[1:02]
these council members gather to
[1:04]

lives of their neighbors, grant
[1:07]

[2:11]
By the united states of america
[2:14]
and to the republic for which
[2:16]
it stands one nation under god,
[2:19]
indivisible with liberty and
[2:22]
Justice for all. >> so I was
[2:25]
told I could share a little bit
[2:26]
about what's happening in
[2:27]
harmony creek church. I was
[2:28]
here last year. I like coming
[2:30]
In october because we have
[2:31]
trump retreat. I like covering
[2:33]
that. We will be doing trump
[2:35]
retreat alongside good shepherd
[2:37]
lutheran church where we are
[2:38]
currently sharing space. We're
[2:40]
Going to be doing that on
[2:41]
sunday, october 25th. That is
[2:43]
one of many trump retreats
[2:45]
that's happening in this area
[2:47]
but ours is from 2 to 4 and I
[2:48]
think ours will be the best.
[2:50]

[2:51]
fundraisers coming up just to
[2:52]

[5:28]
we've all had an opportunity to

Participate in fall festivals.
[5:32]
great event. And kate and drew
[5:35]
and all the staff that worked
[5:37]
very hard at putting that
[5:38]
together and particularly those
[5:40]
Who work the inflatable also
[5:41]
give them a lot of credit for
[5:43]
that. But a very good event and
[5:45]
the community really enjoys it
[5:47]
and thanks for all you do to
[5:49]
put that together. I know drew
[5:51]
Comes down a little bit under
[5:52]
the weather after all the work
[5:54]
that he's put in but really
[5:57]
appreciate the great event
[5:58]
everybody worked on. As I say,
[6:00]
A good community event. I'm
[6:02]
going to turn it over at this
[6:03]
point and this is our last
[6:07]
formal council meeting with
[6:10]
Wayne davis. And wayne's been
[6:11]
with us a little bit about nine
[6:13]
years and two months now and
[6:16]
not quite two months but august
[6:18]
17th I think of 2017 and I
[6:24]
Don't think anyone can possibly
[6:26]
say that this has not been a
[6:27]
tremendous nine years with
[6:30]
Wayne at the helm of the city
[6:33]
manager we've been extremely
[6:34]
fortunate to have wayne come on
[6:38]
board and I'm going to turn it
[6:39]
over because I think all
[6:40]
Council members would would
[6:41]
like to say a couple of things.
[6:43]
sure. >> before I discuss wayne
[6:47]
over their history real >>
[6:50]
Quick I'm on the history
[6:52]
committee speaker series is
[6:54]
back up and running on 1020 tim
[6:58]
gaffney will be discussing
[7:00]
Brewing the burg the about
[7:04]
miami's byrd brewing it's been
[7:06]
going on down there for for a
[7:08]
long long time and ghost walk
[7:10]
There are still tickets
[7:11]
available and that's coming up
[7:12]
on ten eight if you want
[7:14]
tickets go online to central
[7:16]
washington history for suburbs.
[7:19]
we had a great discussion on
[7:22]
The importance of flock cameras
[7:24]
and how important they are to
[7:26]
our city and all the
[7:28]
surrounding cities. We talked
[7:30]
In depth about ways that we can
[7:33]
guarantee the security of the
[7:36]
data that flock gathers. So
[7:40]
With that being said, we all
[7:42]
agreed that it is important and
[7:44]
we'll continue to monitor the
[7:45]
importance of it and how we how
[7:47]
we safeguard those freedoms
[7:50]
That we have and that was from
[7:52]
first tier suburbs. Now about
[7:55]
wayne but first of all I've
[8:01]
Developed a wonderful
[8:02]
friendship with you one that I
[8:05]
anticipate having for the rest
[8:07]
of my life. But you came into a
[8:10]
City >> and as you leave it,
[8:12]
you you leave it in much better
[8:14]
place than it was and you look
[8:17]
at our city jewels stubbs park,
[8:19]
cornerstone yankee trace and
[8:21]
Bonhams grove they have all
[8:23]
been improved immensely under
[8:25]
your leadership. Our staff is
[8:28]
stronger than it has ever been.
[8:30]
Thanks to your leadership, our
[8:32]
council we are better off for
[8:35]
your leadership. You have
[8:36]
taught us a lot about this form
[8:39]
of government and how it works
[8:41]
And how we make it stronger and
[8:43]
the stronger we are and staff
[8:45]
is is so much better for our
[8:47]
people. So the city
[8:48]
of centerville we are in good
[8:50]
Hands and the city is in a
[8:52]
great spot thanks to you wayne.
[8:55]
and I also want to thank kate
[8:56]
because your wife because I
[8:59]
know how many times your out in
[9:01]
The city doing things going to
[9:03]
event after event after event.
[9:06]
and I want to thank her for
[9:07]
sharing you with all of us in
[9:09]
the city of centreville. And my
[9:10]
Friend, I look forward to
[9:12]
taking it up with you soon.
[9:19]
wayne it has just been so
[9:22]
Enjoyable to know you and get
[9:24]
to get to know you. I like the
[9:27]
way you think you're doing just
[9:28]
logical. You have a very
[9:30]
Comprehensive way of putting
[9:32]
all the pieces together just to
[9:34]
make them go perfectly and that
[9:37]
I just am amazed at how well
[9:39]
you you do that, you know and
[9:42]
It's not just what you have
[9:43]
done physically. Our city has
[9:47]
tremendously grown in many
[9:49]
beautiful ways and it's very
[9:51]
Visible to many people. But
[9:52]
it's how you do it, you know,
[9:54]
it's reaching out to the
[9:55]
community. Having those open
[9:57]
houses where people aren't
[9:58]
always very pleased to see us
[10:01]
Handling that discussion. And
[10:04]
you know, a lot of that wasn't
[10:05]
done prior to your coming to
[10:07]
our community. You know, you
[10:11]
Have hired an amazing staff
[10:14]
that is probably one of the
[10:17]
creme de la creme actions that
[10:20]
That you've taken here. And you
[10:22]
have the vision and you know,
[10:25]
I've been telling him he's the
[10:26]
engine, you know, behind so
[10:28]
many of the wonderful changes
[10:29]
that have happened to the city
[10:31]
Both visible and invisible to
[10:33]
most of the community. I just
[10:34]
want to thank you. It's such a
[10:36]
pleasure to get to know you and
[10:37]
I certainly hope we see each
[10:39]
other more. Thank you. Wayne
[10:45]
Let's. Yesterday I had a big
[10:47]
major birthday and as you know,
[10:49]
you were part of my pre-birth
[10:50]
Celebration recently, but I
[10:53]
saved all my birthday cards to
[10:55]
read last night and the
[10:57]
highlight was the one I opened
[10:59]
that came in the mail a couple
[11:01]
Of days earlier from you. And
[11:03]
as I read it it reminded me how
[11:06]
much relationships matter to
[11:09]
you and the effort you put into
[11:12]
Making sure that everyone feels
[11:15]
special and appreciated. And I
[11:18]
know you do this with all
[11:19]
of your staff as well. But to
[11:21]
Read that card that was really
[11:23]
a letter just made me you
[11:26]
brought me to tears and that
[11:29]
you know that relationship we
[11:32]
Are going to continue that
[11:34]
thank you for everything you've
[11:36]
done for us. Thank you, bill.
[11:41]
Wayne, as you know, I've been
[11:44]
on council now this is my 11th
[11:46]
year and the first year I was
[11:48]
here we made a very important
[11:51]
Decision to raise the city
[11:53]
income tax which our voters
[11:55]
generously granted us. The
[11:57]
second year I was here we hired
[12:00]
You and I think the two go hand
[12:03]
in hand because we needed the
[12:05]
resources to match your vision
[12:09]
and and it has been about a
[12:11]
Tremendous vision and it's been
[12:14]
a tremendous accomplishment. I
[12:16]
want to commend you for the
[12:17]
excellent summary you had in
[12:19]
last week's update. Of of the
[12:22]
Things that have happened in
[12:23]
this nine years and I would
[12:25]
maybe encourage kate to have
[12:27]
that published more widely
[12:29]
because I think our citizens
[12:31]
Need to understand the great
[12:33]
progress that this city has
[12:36]
made over over that period. But
[12:38]
I think the most important
[12:40]
Thing that you have done and
[12:42]
it's what we asked you to do
[12:43]
when you were hired is you've
[12:47]
created a culture within the
[12:49]
city that that is a positive
[12:51]
Culture that you've brought in
[12:53]
staff who have bought in and
[12:55]
who propagate that culture and
[12:58]
and you've held that at the at
[13:00]
The highest level as we have.
[13:02]
we've executed a very
[13:04]
aggressive strategic plan or
[13:06]
strategic plan still and has
[13:10]
And also as I observed in our
[13:13]
work session today in our last
[13:17]
work session with you, we are
[13:19]
very fortunate as a council in
[13:22]
This goes to all the council
[13:24]
members as well as you that
[13:26]
we've never had a conflict in
[13:28]
those work sessions and I read
[13:30]
The papers about other cities
[13:32]
and they fire and they
[13:35]
reinstate and they have all
[13:37]
these splits within a council
[13:39]
about city management and and
[13:43]
It's part of the culture that
[13:44]
you helped create that that we
[13:48]
we operate in a much more
[13:50]
Productive way without all
[13:52]
those silly distractions. So
[13:55]
thank you wayne and I know
[13:57]
we'll run into you many times
[13:59]
in the future. I know I've told
[14:05]
This story at least once in
[14:08]
work sessions in 2014 is when I
[14:11]
Decided I was going to get on
[14:12]
city council because I had a
[14:16]
little dustup with the city and
[14:18]
it did not sit well with me for
[14:21]
Ten years and when I got on
[14:23]
city council and saw how
[14:26]
council worked, how you worked,
[14:28]
how your staff worked. I it was
[14:31]
Lame for me to even get on. It
[14:33]
was all under control. There
[14:35]
was nothing that I could bring
[14:38]
that I thought that I was going
[14:39]
to bring because council had
[14:42]
Chosen you and you made a
[14:45]
difference here and we will
[14:47]
miss you. I will miss you,
[14:52]
Wayne. I've known your wife for
[14:54]
probably 30 years. I >> know
[14:59]
that's a good stuff to get.
[15:00]
Will get you seriously and I
[15:04]
know I know you know that but
[15:06]
you just don't follow it and
[15:08]
your wife is one of the finest
[15:11]
Lawyers and finest judges in
[15:13]
this area and I respect her and
[15:17]
she had good choice by choosing
[15:19]
you and you may not have chosen
[15:21]
Her but she may have to and you
[15:23]
and and I look here and I have
[15:25]
been on the council that long
[15:26]
as you know. But when I look at
[15:29]
benton's girl you know wayne,
[15:31]
Wayne, brooke and I look at
[15:33]
stubbs and wayne did that and
[15:35]
that and they improvements and
[15:37]
yank wayne did that and I 675
[15:40]
He hasn't done it yet but we're
[15:41]
working on it and the computers
[15:43]
in this in this building wayne
[15:46]
turned that around and I just
[15:48]
have to say that I, I am so
[15:51]
Happy for your service here.
[15:53]
I'm sad that you're leaving and
[15:55]
just wish you the absolute
[15:56]
best. Thank you. Jennifer just
[16:03]
Let me mention one thing we're
[16:04]
glad you're on council. Thank
[16:06]
you. We're glad you did run for
[16:08]
council. We're glad you found
[16:09]
out what you did think maybe
[16:12]
Was here but you've been a huge
[16:13]
addition to council so we
[16:15]
appreciate that very much.
[16:16]
appreciate it. Just very
[16:18]
briefly, wayne and I sat next
[16:20]
To each other not knowing each
[16:22]
other probably about ten years
[16:25]
ago probably yeah probably
[16:27]
about ten years ago at a
[16:28]
lincoln day dinner and kate
[16:32]
Wayne's wife and my wife were
[16:34]
talking about books and wayne
[16:36]
and I were I didn't know what
[16:38]
who the heck wayne was. He
[16:39]
didn't know who I was and we
[16:42]
Got to talking and found out
[16:44]
what wayne was in government.
[16:45]
he was a city manager down in
[16:47]
montgomery and that I had
[16:49]
started as mayor at the city
[16:51]
Of centreville and we got to
[16:52]
talking and I thought it was
[16:53]
very interesting person. I
[16:55]
really enjoyed talking to him
[16:56]
and we got together down in
[16:57]
montgomery at a very nice lunch
[16:59]
place for lunch one time down
[17:01]
There and wayne took me over to
[17:02]
city building and and then we
[17:05]
had an opportunity to and I
[17:07]
really enjoyed talking with
[17:08]
wayne both at the lincoln day
[17:09]
dinner when we went for lunch
[17:11]
And I thought, you know, he's a
[17:13]
pretty decent guy and when we
[17:16]
had an opening for city manager
[17:18]
we couldn't have asked for a
[17:20]
Better result than we got. I
[17:22]
mean we had a nationwide search
[17:24]
of the community may not know
[17:25]
that but they probably do. But
[17:26]
we had a nationwide search and
[17:28]
we had a lot of people apply
[17:29]
and when we got down to the
[17:31]
Final person as to who the
[17:33]
final couple as to who was
[17:34]
going to be selected, our city
[17:36]
manager was unanimous that we
[17:38]
chose wayne no, not a bit
[17:39]
of hesitation for many of us on
[17:41]
Council I think we were all
[17:43]
very, very impressed with what
[17:45]
you had done with montgomery
[17:46]
and what you brought to the
[17:48]
city of set. What assured us
[17:50]
That you would bring to the
[17:51]
city of centreville and we had
[17:53]
a 12 to 18 month goal and both
[17:56]
goals for wayne and you met
[17:57]
them all and we couldn't be
[18:00]
More pleased and that that you
[18:04]
have worked so well with our
[18:06]
community and with us and we
[18:08]
couldn't ask for any more. And
[18:11]
As bill said and I mentioned to
[18:14]
you the other day we we've had
[18:16]
gender meetings now for nine
[18:18]
plus years and I've never
[18:20]
Walked out of an agenda
[18:22]
meeting. I've never walked out
[18:23]
of a I don't think any of us
[18:24]
had where we thought we're not
[18:26]
moving in the right direction
[18:27]
and and that's that's a credit
[18:30]
To you that's a credit to the
[18:31]
great staff that that you that
[18:34]
you brought into the city and I
[18:36]
don't know who said it I think
[18:37]
was bill said the culture
[18:39]
absolutely the the culture and
[18:42]
So that the culture of of the
[18:44]
city of centreville and the
[18:45]
staff and how you work
[18:48]
outstanding and you know big
[18:51]
Projects are not handled in one
[18:53]
day there with the concept of a
[18:56]
little bit of improvement every
[18:57]
day and that's that's what
[18:59]
you've done and I know you
[19:02]
Didn't come in and say we're
[19:03]
not going to we're going to do
[19:04]
an event center in a way or go
[19:05]
and that's it, we'll get it
[19:06]
done. It was oh every day
[19:08]
working with staff, working
[19:11]
With council to improve our
[19:12]
community and we are so
[19:14]
fortunate. I'm sorry you're
[19:15]
leaving but I understand it
[19:17]
after the last meeting that
[19:18]
went on to about 11:00 those
[19:21]
Meetings are tough at night and
[19:24]
the way and I think we all
[19:26]
consider you a good friend and
[19:29]
I want to our friendship to
[19:30]
Consider or to continue and I
[19:34]
hope that that it does I feel
[19:36]
positive that it what it will
[19:37]
the will continue to get
[19:38]
together for golf and other
[19:40]
Activities but we want
[19:42]
definitely want to see you
[19:43]
around a lot of the activities
[19:45]
for the city of centreville and
[19:47]
again thank you for an absolute
[19:49]
job that has been you've done a
[19:51]
Terrific job and we feel great
[19:55]
that that you're here and we
[19:57]
feel great that you're retiring
[19:58]
on your own note and over this
[20:01]
Period of time. So thank you,
[20:03]
wayne, for all you've done.
[20:04]
thank you for all the kind
[20:05]
words I'm going back to to
[20:10]
Build point culture strategy
[20:12]
for breakfast and if you don't
[20:15]
create a culture the culture
[20:17]
will create itself. And so I've
[20:20]
Been fortunate to be able to
[20:22]
work with you. City council
[20:24]
have the support for creating
[20:26]
that culture because it does it
[20:28]
takes resources to to build a
[20:30]
Culture mostly time and the
[20:33]
relationship building that's
[20:35]
necessary for that but you also
[20:37]
need to make some investment
[20:39]
of of funding but I will miss
[20:42]
Working with city council. I
[20:44]
will miss working with the best
[20:46]
team and I'm not saying it
[20:48]
because we're here tonight. I'm
[20:51]
Saying it because it's the best
[20:53]
team I've ever worked with and
[20:55]
that's a heck of a way to wrap
[20:57]
up your 35 year career is
[21:01]
WORKING WITH PEOPLE AND WORKING
[21:11]
With people like this. They
[21:16]
they are an unbelievable team.
[21:18]
they they're humble, they're
[21:21]
Driven. They are smart. They
[21:24]
they are effective and they
[21:26]
care about the community that
[21:28]
they serve. So it's been a
[21:33]
Great run. I'll miss the work
[21:35]
even the I'm all about work and
[21:39]
I will be working probably
[21:42]
Pretty soon after after I my
[21:44]
last day on november 10th. But
[21:47]
the important thing is I think
[21:49]
the city of center bill is in a
[21:51]
Fantastic place. I think the
[21:54]
resources are aligned I think
[21:57]
put in an organized fashion so
[22:00]
My successor michael norton
[22:01]
smith will know how to insert
[22:03]
the key, turn it and keep it
[22:06]
moving forward with many of our
[22:08]
staff with the exception
[22:11]
Of tyler and tyler's moving on
[22:13]
I think with the support of all
[22:15]
of us even though we are anti
[22:17]
his move we are we are we are
[22:20]
In favor of his move because
[22:22]
it's going to be better I think
[22:23]
for his personal and
[22:25]
professional life moving
[22:27]
forward. So he will certainly
[22:29]
be missed as well. So I, I say
[22:32]
Thank you for the kind words
[22:33]
thank you for the support that
[22:35]
you've given me over nine years
[22:37]
and I'm talking to both council
[22:39]
and staff and citizens in the
[22:41]
Process and couldn't have done
[22:44]
it wouldn't have want to have
[22:45]
done it without all of you and
[22:49]
I've been pretty darn fortunate
[22:50]
To be able to make that happen
[22:52]
so thank you. Thank you wayne.
[22:55]
thanks wayne. You did mention
[23:00]
Tyler if we can just tyler
[23:04]
would you might just if you do
[23:05]
mind. Tyler just telling us to
[23:07]
where you're heading off to
[23:09]
that but we are locking the
[23:10]
Doors so that you can leave
[23:12]
soon. Absolutely. Thank you.
[23:14]
thank you, mayor. And you know,
[23:16]
similar to wayne, I've been
[23:17]
here almost eight years and you
[23:19]
know we've accomplished a lot
[23:20]
Together and looking at this
[23:21]
slide going back and forth here
[23:23]
on the show and the memories
[23:25]
that kick in and all the people
[23:26]
that I've worked with things
[23:27]
that I'll definitely carry with
[23:28]
me the almost eight years I've
[23:30]
Been here so I'll miss this
[23:31]
place. It is bittersweet unique
[23:33]
opportunity to go to go home or
[23:34]
close to home. It's the butler
[23:36]
county finance authority is the
[23:38]
name. It's the old butler
[23:40]
County port authority. It's
[23:41]
been rebranded the last couple
[23:42]
of years. My former city
[23:43]
manager and hamilton joshua
[23:45]
smith, he left a couple
[23:46]
of years ago at the city and
[23:48]
started up a restart of this
[23:49]
organization to be active and
[23:51]
Foster development and
[23:53]
financing and administration
[23:55]
throughout the entire county.
[23:56]
so I will be helping him. It's
[23:58]
a small team so it'll be not
[23:59]
what I'm used to at least the
[24:00]
City of hamilton which is much
[24:01]
bigger than also here having
[24:03]
lots of people. So it will be
[24:04]
smaller but it'll be different
[24:06]
but similar. So I'm excited for
[24:07]
that close to home obviously
[24:09]
it's still being public sector
[24:10]
Doing what I know administrator
[24:12]
and economic development and
[24:13]
finance so looking forward to
[24:14]
it. Unique opportunity so it
[24:16]
was too too good to pass up and
[24:18]
but I will miss this place for
[24:19]
sure for sure. Well we
[24:21]
Appreciate what you brought to
[24:22]
the finance department and john
[24:26]
parcher. I talked to john. He
[24:29]
was unhappy that you were
[24:30]
Leaving. He called me the other
[24:31]
day. Okay. I spoke about god
[24:35]
love him and but his thought on
[24:39]
fund balances and I also have
[24:41]
In the finance committee do you
[24:44]
you did a great job with that
[24:46]
and the staff that you have and
[24:48]
you kind of dug out of a hole
[24:50]
When you got here like you said
[24:51]
the other day you didn't talk
[24:53]
to wayne about then wasn't real
[24:55]
sure why you came here at that
[24:56]
point. It just was day >> three
[24:58]
if I recall. I think I was like
[25:00]
I don't know about this. This
[25:02]
is going to be a lot but we got
[25:04]
there and it makes it all
[25:05]
obvious we want to get through
[25:05]
all that and the things you
[25:07]
learned from from those
[25:07]
situation so well >> when you
[25:09]
will start will they start with
[25:11]
Dos down there where you have
[25:12]
>> I don't know if they have
[25:13]
software at all. So okay. I
[25:16]
think they want to become more
[25:17]
sophisticated so I'll be
[25:18]
handling all the day to day and
[25:19]
then also structuring
[25:20]
Financings and getting out
[25:21]
of the communities as well with
[25:22]
development. So we do a little
[25:23]
bit of everything. Well please
[25:24]
come back and see us here.
[25:26]
absolutely. I won't be a
[25:27]
stranger. Okay. I know too many
[25:29]
good people here so I'll be
[25:30]
Around despite the by the
[25:32]
drive. Well thank you for all
[25:33]
your work. Definitely did a
[25:35]
great job. Thank you. Okay it
