[0:29] pastor wilkie, you stand for
[0:32] The invocation my friends. Let
[0:37] us pray god known by many names
[0:41] Understood in many ways we
[0:43] pause tonight in gratitude for
[0:45] the opportunity to serve our
[0:47] community here in centreville
[0:48] we give thanks for the people
[0:50] Who call centreville home for
[0:52] our families and neighbors, our

[0:55] young people and our elders and
[0:57] for all those who contribute in
[0:59] ways both visible and unseen to
[1:00] The life of this community. As
[1:02] these council members gather to
[1:04] make decisions that affect the
[1:05] lives of their neighbors, grant
[1:07] them wisdom to listen
[1:08] carefully, courage to consider

[1:21] Marked by respect, honesty,

[1:53] leave this gathering committed
[1:54] not simply to our own interests
[1:56] but to the common good? And may
[1:57] we remember that whatever our
[1:59] background or beliefs we have
[2:00] Been entrusted with one
[2:02] another. We pray all this in

[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.

[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
