with dignity and where those

47
00:01:38,167 --> 00:01:39,467
who are most vulnerable are not

48
00:01:39,467 --> 00:01:40,767
forgotten and where every

49
00:01:40,767 --> 00:01:42,667

not simply to our own interests

58
00:01:56,067 --> 00:01:57,868
but to the common good? And may

59
00:01:57,868 --> 00:01:59,167
we remember that whatever our

60
00:01:59,167 --> 00:02:00,868
background or beliefs we have

61
00:02:00,868 --> 00:02:02,267
Been entrusted with one

62
00:02:02,267 --> 00:02:04,167
another. We pray all this in

63
00:02:04,167 --> 00:02:11,267
your name, o god. Amen. Amen.

64
00:02:11,267 --> 00:02:14,367
By the united states of america

65
00:02:14,367 --> 00:02:16,367
and to the republic for which

66
00:02:16,367 --> 00:02:19,667
it stands one nation under god,

67
00:02:19,667 --> 00:02:22,000
indivisible with liberty and

68
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,000
Justice for all. >> so I was

69
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,167
told I could share a little bit

70
00:02:26,167 --> 00:02:27,067
about what's happening in

71
00:02:27,067 --> 00:02:28,868
harmony creek church. I was

72
00:02:28,868 --> 00:02:30,100
here last year. I like coming

73
00:02:30,100 --> 00:02:31,167
In october because we have

74
00:02:31,167 --> 00:02:33,367

75
00:02:33,367 --> 00:02:35,634
that. We will be doing trump

76
00:02:35,634 --> 00:02:37,367

that's happening in this area

83
00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:48,567
but ours is from 2 to 4 and I

84
00:02:48,567 --> 00:02:50,567

192
00:06:18,934 --> 00:06:24,100
17th I think of 2017 and I

193
00:06:24,100 --> 00:06:26,267
Don't think anyone can possibly

194
00:06:26,267 --> 00:06:27,734
say that this has not been a

195
00:06:27,734 --> 00:06:30,067
tremendous nine years with

196
00:06:30,067 --> 00:06:33,167
Wayne at the helm of the city

197
00:06:33,167 --> 00:06:34,634
manager we've been extremely

198
00:06:34,634 --> 00:06:38,067
fortunate to have wayne come on

199
00:06:38,067 --> 00:06:39,267
board and I'm going to turn it

200
00:06:39,267 --> 00:06:40,267
over because I think all

201
00:06:40,267 --> 00:06:41,868
Council members would would

202
00:06:41,868 --> 00:06:43,534
like to say a couple of things.

203
00:06:43,534 --> 00:06:47,367
sure. >> before I discuss wayne

204
00:06:47,367 --> 00:06:50,534
over their history real >>

205
00:06:50,534 --> 00:06:52,000
Quick I'm on the history

206
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,767
committee speaker series is

209
00:07:00,367 --> 00:07:04,667
Brewing the burg the about

210
00:07:04,667 --> 00:07:06,667
miami's byrd brewing it's been

211
00:07:06,667 --> 00:07:08,367
going on down there for for a

212
00:07:08,367 --> 00:07:10,467
long long time and ghost walk

213
00:07:10,467 --> 00:07:11,367
There are still tickets

214
00:07:11,367 --> 00:07:12,534
available and that's coming up

215
00:07:12,534 --> 00:07:14,467

216
00:07:14,467 --> 00:07:16,167
tickets go online to central

217
00:07:16,167 --> 00:07:19,934
washington history for suburbs.

218
00:07:19,934 --> 00:07:22,534
we had a great discussion on

219
00:07:22,534 --> 00:07:24,667
The importance of flock cameras

220
00:07:24,667 --> 00:07:26,734
and how important they are to

221
00:07:26,734 --> 00:07:28,067
our city and all the

222
00:07:28,067 --> 00:07:30,734
surrounding cities. We talked

223
00:07:30,734 --> 00:07:33,667
In depth about ways that we can

224
00:07:33,667 --> 00:07:36,100
guarantee the security of the

225
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:40,467
data that flock gathers. So

226
00:07:40,467 --> 00:07:42,567
With that being said, we all

227
00:07:42,567 --> 00:07:44,067
agreed that it is important and

228
00:07:44,067 --> 00:07:45,667
we'll continue to monitor the

229
00:07:45,667 --> 00:07:47,567
importance of it and how we how

230
00:07:47,567 --> 00:07:50,067
we safeguard those freedoms

231
00:07:50,067 --> 00:07:52,667
That we have and that was from

232
00:07:52,667 --> 00:07:55,667
first tier suburbs. Now about

233
00:07:55,667 --> 00:08:01,000
wayne but first of all I've

234
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,100
Developed a wonderful

235
00:08:02,100 --> 00:08:05,467
friendship with you one that I

236
00:08:05,467 --> 00:08:07,667
anticipate having for the rest

237
00:08:07,667 --> 00:08:10,767
of my life. But you came into a

238
00:08:10,767 --> 00:08:12,267
City >> and as you leave it,

239
00:08:12,267 --> 00:08:14,267

240
00:08:14,267 --> 00:08:17,634
place than it was and you look

241
00:08:17,634 --> 00:08:19,734
at our city jewels stubbs park,

242
00:08:19,734 --> 00:08:21,667
cornerstone yankee trace and

243
00:08:21,667 --> 00:08:23,767
Bonhams grove they have all

244
00:08:23,767 --> 00:08:25,567
been improved immensely under

245
00:08:25,567 --> 00:08:28,267
your leadership. Our staff is

246
00:08:28,267 --> 00:08:30,634
stronger than it has ever been.

247
00:08:30,634 --> 00:08:32,767
Thanks to your leadership, our

248
00:08:32,767 --> 00:08:35,567

your leadership. You have

250
00:08:36,868 --> 00:08:39,767
taught us a lot about this form

251
00:08:39,767 --> 00:08:41,267
of government and how it works

252
00:08:41,267 --> 00:08:43,167
And how we make it stronger and

253
00:08:43,167 --> 00:08:45,767
the stronger we are and staff

254
00:08:45,767 --> 00:08:47,167

255
00:08:47,167 --> 00:08:48,868
people. So the city

The city doing things going to

263
00:09:03,567 --> 00:09:06,267
event after event after event.

264
00:09:06,267 --> 00:09:07,267
and I want to thank her for

265
00:09:07,267 --> 00:09:09,267
sharing you with all of us in

266
00:09:09,267 --> 00:09:10,934
the city of centreville. And my

267
00:09:10,934 --> 00:09:12,067
Friend, I look forward to

268
00:09:12,067 --> 00:09:19,567
taking it up with you soon.

269
00:09:19,567 --> 00:09:22,267
wayne it has just been so

270
00:09:22,267 --> 00:09:24,367
Enjoyable to know you and get

271
00:09:24,367 --> 00:09:27,067
to get to know you. I like the

272
00:09:27,067 --> 00:09:28,934
way you think you're doing just

273
00:09:28,934 --> 00:09:30,667
logical. You have a very

274
00:09:30,667 --> 00:09:32,667
Comprehensive way of putting

275
00:09:32,667 --> 00:09:34,834
all the pieces together just to

276
00:09:34,834 --> 00:09:37,167
make them go perfectly and that

277
00:09:37,167 --> 00:09:39,567
I just am amazed at how well

278
00:09:39,567 --> 00:09:42,000
you you do that, you know and

279
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,767
It's not just what you have

280
00:09:43,767 --> 00:09:47,834
done physically. Our city has

281
00:09:47,834 --> 00:09:49,667
tremendously grown in many

282
00:09:49,667 --> 00:09:51,167
beautiful ways and it's very

283
00:09:51,167 --> 00:09:52,868
Visible to many people. But

284
00:09:52,868 --> 00:09:54,167
it's how you do it, you know,

285
00:09:54,167 --> 00:09:55,100
it's reaching out to the

286
00:09:55,100 --> 00:09:57,067
community. Having those open

287
00:09:57,067 --> 00:09:58,667
houses where people aren't

288
00:09:58,667 --> 00:10:01,634
always very pleased to see us

289
00:10:01,634 --> 00:10:04,734
Handling that discussion. And

290
00:10:04,734 --> 00:10:05,667
you know, a lot of that wasn't

291
00:10:05,667 --> 00:10:07,534
done prior to your coming to

292
00:10:07,534 --> 00:10:11,667
our community. You know, you

293
00:10:11,667 --> 00:10:14,868
Have hired an amazing staff

294
00:10:14,868 --> 00:10:17,767
that is probably one of the

295
00:10:17,767 --> 00:10:20,367
creme de la creme actions that

296
00:10:20,367 --> 00:10:22,868
That you've taken here. And you

297
00:10:22,868 --> 00:10:25,067
have the vision and you know,

298
00:10:25,067 --> 00:10:26,167
I've been telling him he's the

299
00:10:26,167 --> 00:10:28,367
engine, you know, behind so

300
00:10:28,367 --> 00:10:29,767
many of the wonderful changes

301
00:10:29,767 --> 00:10:31,100
that have happened to the city

302
00:10:31,100 --> 00:10:33,167
Both visible and invisible to

303
00:10:33,167 --> 00:10:34,367
most of the community. I just

304
00:10:34,367 --> 00:10:36,267
want to thank you. It's such a

305
00:10:36,267 --> 00:10:37,367
pleasure to get to know you and

306
00:10:37,367 --> 00:10:39,267
I certainly hope we see each

307
00:10:39,267 --> 00:10:45,067
other more. Thank you. Wayne

308
00:10:45,067 --> 00:10:47,067
Let's. Yesterday I had a big

309
00:10:47,067 --> 00:10:49,167
major birthday and as you know,

310
00:10:49,167 --> 00:10:50,767
you were part of my pre-birth

311
00:10:50,767 --> 00:10:53,734
Celebration recently, but I

312
00:10:53,734 --> 00:10:55,467
saved all my birthday cards to

313
00:10:55,467 --> 00:10:57,534
read last night and the

314
00:10:57,534 --> 00:10:59,267
highlight was the one I opened

315
00:10:59,267 --> 00:11:01,167
that came in the mail a couple

316
00:11:01,167 --> 00:11:03,567
Of days earlier from you. And

317
00:11:03,567 --> 00:11:06,767
as I read it it reminded me how

318
00:11:06,767 --> 00:11:09,000
much relationships matter to

319
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,868
you and the effort you put into

320
00:11:12,868 --> 00:11:15,567
Making sure that everyone feels

321
00:11:15,567 --> 00:11:18,167
special and appreciated. And I

322
00:11:18,167 --> 00:11:19,467
know you do this with all

323
00:11:19,467 --> 00:11:21,467
of your staff as well. But to

324
00:11:21,467 --> 00:11:23,100
Read that card that was really

325
00:11:23,100 --> 00:11:26,534
a letter just made me you

326
00:11:26,534 --> 00:11:29,467
brought me to tears and that

327
00:11:29,467 --> 00:11:32,000
you know that relationship we

328
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,734
Are going to continue that

329
00:11:34,734 --> 00:11:36,000
thank you for everything you've

330
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:41,634
done for us. Thank you, bill.

331
00:11:41,634 --> 00:11:44,267
Wayne, as you know, I've been

332
00:11:44,267 --> 00:11:46,367
on council now this is my 11th

333
00:11:46,367 --> 00:11:48,667
year and the first year I was

334
00:11:48,667 --> 00:11:51,100
here we made a very important

335
00:11:51,100 --> 00:11:53,534
Decision to raise the city

336
00:11:53,534 --> 00:11:55,734
income tax which our voters

337
00:11:55,734 --> 00:11:57,868
generously granted us. The

338
00:11:57,868 --> 00:12:00,834
second year I was here we hired

339
00:12:00,834 --> 00:12:03,634
You and I think the two go hand

340
00:12:03,634 --> 00:12:05,868
in hand because we needed the

341
00:12:05,868 --> 00:12:09,000
resources to match your vision

342
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,868
and and it has been about a

343
00:12:11,868 --> 00:12:14,100
Tremendous vision and it's been

344
00:12:14,100 --> 00:12:16,100
a tremendous accomplishment. I

345
00:12:16,100 --> 00:12:17,467
want to commend you for the

346
00:12:17,467 --> 00:12:19,267
excellent summary you had in

347
00:12:19,267 --> 00:12:22,267
last week's update. Of of the

348
00:12:22,267 --> 00:12:23,467
Things that have happened in

349
00:12:23,467 --> 00:12:25,367
this nine years and I would

350
00:12:25,367 --> 00:12:27,634
maybe encourage kate to have

351
00:12:27,634 --> 00:12:29,767
that published more widely

352
00:12:29,767 --> 00:12:31,767
because I think our citizens

353
00:12:31,767 --> 00:12:33,834
Need to understand the great

354
00:12:33,834 --> 00:12:36,167
progress that this city has

355
00:12:36,167 --> 00:12:38,667
made over over that period. But

356
00:12:38,667 --> 00:12:40,000
I think the most important

357
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,000
Thing that you have done and

358
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:43,934
it's what we asked you to do

359
00:12:43,934 --> 00:12:47,467
when you were hired is you've

360
00:12:47,467 --> 00:12:49,167
created a culture within the

361
00:12:49,167 --> 00:12:51,868
city that that is a positive

362
00:12:51,868 --> 00:12:53,367
Culture that you've brought in

363
00:12:53,367 --> 00:12:55,534
staff who have bought in and

364
00:12:55,534 --> 00:12:58,534
who propagate that culture and

365
00:12:58,534 --> 00:13:00,100
and you've held that at the at

366
00:13:00,100 --> 00:13:02,467
The highest level as we have.

367
00:13:02,467 --> 00:13:04,367
we've executed a very

368
00:13:04,367 --> 00:13:06,367
aggressive strategic plan or

369
00:13:06,367 --> 00:13:10,267
strategic plan still and has

370
00:13:10,267 --> 00:13:13,634
And also as I observed in our

371
00:13:13,634 --> 00:13:17,000
work session today in our last

372
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,367
work session with you, we are

373
00:13:19,367 --> 00:13:22,267
very fortunate as a council in

374
00:13:22,267 --> 00:13:24,167
This goes to all the council

375
00:13:24,167 --> 00:13:26,167
members as well as you that

376
00:13:26,167 --> 00:13:28,267
we've never had a conflict in

377
00:13:28,267 --> 00:13:30,367
those work sessions and I read

378
00:13:30,367 --> 00:13:32,767
The papers about other cities

379
00:13:32,767 --> 00:13:35,000
and they fire and they

380
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,467
reinstate and they have all

381
00:13:37,467 --> 00:13:39,767
these splits within a council

382
00:13:39,767 --> 00:13:43,167
about city management and and

383
00:13:43,167 --> 00:13:44,567
It's part of the culture that

384
00:13:44,567 --> 00:13:48,100
you helped create that that we

385
00:13:48,100 --> 00:13:50,467
we operate in a much more

386
00:13:50,467 --> 00:13:52,667
Productive way without all

387
00:13:52,667 --> 00:13:55,367
those silly distractions. So

388
00:13:55,367 --> 00:13:57,167
thank you wayne and I know

389
00:13:57,167 --> 00:13:59,167
we'll run into you many times

390
00:13:59,167 --> 00:14:05,267
in the future. I know I've told

391
00:14:05,267 --> 00:14:08,267
This story at least once in

392
00:14:08,267 --> 00:14:11,634
work sessions in 2014 is when I

393
00:14:11,634 --> 00:14:12,868
Decided I was going to get on

394
00:14:12,868 --> 00:14:16,100
city council because I had a

395
00:14:16,100 --> 00:14:18,767
little dustup with the city and

396
00:14:18,767 --> 00:14:21,367
it did not sit well with me for

397
00:14:21,367 --> 00:14:23,467
Ten years and when I got on

398
00:14:23,467 --> 00:14:26,567
city council and saw how

399
00:14:26,567 --> 00:14:28,467
council worked, how you worked,

400
00:14:28,467 --> 00:14:31,634
how your staff worked. I it was

401
00:14:31,634 --> 00:14:33,167
Lame for me to even get on. It

402
00:14:33,167 --> 00:14:35,100
was all under control. There

403
00:14:35,100 --> 00:14:38,000
was nothing that I could bring

404
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,567
that I thought that I was going

405
00:14:39,567 --> 00:14:42,167
to bring because council had

406
00:14:42,167 --> 00:14:45,467
Chosen you and you made a

407
00:14:45,467 --> 00:14:47,734
difference here and we will

408
00:14:47,734 --> 00:14:52,367
miss you. I will miss you,

409
00:14:52,367 --> 00:14:54,100
Wayne. I've known your wife for

410
00:14:54,100 --> 00:14:59,534
probably 30 years. I >> know

411
00:14:59,534 --> 00:15:00,834
that's a good stuff to get.

412
00:15:00,834 --> 00:15:04,167
Will get you seriously and I

413
00:15:04,167 --> 00:15:06,100
know I know you know that but

414
00:15:06,100 --> 00:15:08,267
you just don't follow it and

415
00:15:08,267 --> 00:15:11,267
your wife is one of the finest

416
00:15:11,267 --> 00:15:13,167
Lawyers and finest judges in

417
00:15:13,167 --> 00:15:17,934
this area and I respect her and

418
00:15:17,934 --> 00:15:19,667
she had good choice by choosing

419
00:15:19,667 --> 00:15:21,467
you and you may not have chosen

420
00:15:21,467 --> 00:15:23,667
Her but she may have to and you

421
00:15:23,667 --> 00:15:25,467
and and I look here and I have

422
00:15:25,467 --> 00:15:26,934
been on the council that long

423
00:15:26,934 --> 00:15:29,667
as you know. But when I look at

424
00:15:29,667 --> 00:15:31,667
benton's girl you know wayne,

425
00:15:31,667 --> 00:15:33,267
Wayne, brooke and I look at

426
00:15:33,267 --> 00:15:35,467
stubbs and wayne did that and

427
00:15:35,467 --> 00:15:37,167
that and they improvements and

428
00:15:37,167 --> 00:15:40,000
yank wayne did that and I 675

429
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,100
He hasn't done it yet but we're

430
00:15:41,100 --> 00:15:43,467
working on it and the computers

431
00:15:43,467 --> 00:15:46,467
in this in this building wayne

432
00:15:46,467 --> 00:15:48,467
turned that around and I just

433
00:15:48,467 --> 00:15:51,167
have to say that I, I am so

434
00:15:51,167 --> 00:15:53,000
Happy for your service here.

435
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,267
I'm sad that you're leaving and

436
00:15:55,267 --> 00:15:56,734
just wish you the absolute

437
00:15:56,734 --> 00:16:03,167
best. Thank you. Jennifer just

438
00:16:03,167 --> 00:16:04,367
Let me mention one thing we're

439
00:16:04,367 --> 00:16:06,167
glad you're on council. Thank

440
00:16:06,167 --> 00:16:08,767
you. We're glad you did run for

441
00:16:08,767 --> 00:16:09,834
council. We're glad you found

442
00:16:09,834 --> 00:16:12,367
out what you did think maybe

443
00:16:12,367 --> 00:16:13,868
Was here but you've been a huge

444
00:16:13,868 --> 00:16:15,100
addition to council so we

445
00:16:15,100 --> 00:16:16,267
appreciate that very much.

446
00:16:16,267 --> 00:16:18,868
appreciate it. Just very

447
00:16:18,868 --> 00:16:20,267
briefly, wayne and I sat next

448
00:16:20,267 --> 00:16:22,167
To each other not knowing each

449
00:16:22,167 --> 00:16:25,100
other probably about ten years

450
00:16:25,100 --> 00:16:27,067
ago probably yeah probably

451
00:16:27,067 --> 00:16:28,667
about ten years ago at a

452
00:16:28,667 --> 00:16:32,868
lincoln day dinner and kate

453
00:16:32,868 --> 00:16:34,367
Wayne's wife and my wife were

454
00:16:34,367 --> 00:16:36,567
talking about books and wayne

455
00:16:36,567 --> 00:16:38,734
and I were I didn't know what

456
00:16:38,734 --> 00:16:39,934
who the heck wayne was. He

457
00:16:39,934 --> 00:16:42,167
didn't know who I was and we

458
00:16:42,167 --> 00:16:44,267
Got to talking and found out

459
00:16:44,267 --> 00:16:45,534
what wayne was in government.

460
00:16:45,534 --> 00:16:47,000
he was a city manager down in

461
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,834
montgomery and that I had

462
00:16:49,834 --> 00:16:51,467
started as mayor at the city

463
00:16:51,467 --> 00:16:52,567
Of centreville and we got to

464
00:16:52,567 --> 00:16:53,767
talking and I thought it was

465
00:16:53,767 --> 00:16:55,000
very interesting person. I

466
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,167
really enjoyed talking to him

467
00:16:56,167 --> 00:16:57,834
and we got together down in

468
00:16:57,834 --> 00:16:59,567
montgomery at a very nice lunch

469
00:16:59,567 --> 00:17:01,467
place for lunch one time down

470
00:17:01,467 --> 00:17:02,868
There and wayne took me over to

471
00:17:02,868 --> 00:17:05,267
city building and and then we

472
00:17:05,267 --> 00:17:07,567
had an opportunity to and I

473
00:17:07,567 --> 00:17:08,667
really enjoyed talking with

474
00:17:08,667 --> 00:17:09,868
wayne both at the lincoln day

475
00:17:09,868 --> 00:17:11,567
dinner when we went for lunch

476
00:17:11,567 --> 00:17:13,534
And I thought, you know, he's a

477
00:17:13,534 --> 00:17:16,467
pretty decent guy and when we

478
00:17:16,467 --> 00:17:18,167
had an opening for city manager

479
00:17:18,167 --> 00:17:20,567
we couldn't have asked for a

480
00:17:20,567 --> 00:17:22,167
Better result than we got. I

481
00:17:22,167 --> 00:17:24,367
mean we had a nationwide search

482
00:17:24,367 --> 00:17:25,467
of the community may not know

483
00:17:25,467 --> 00:17:26,734
that but they probably do. But

484
00:17:26,734 --> 00:17:28,000
we had a nationwide search and

485
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,367
we had a lot of people apply

486
00:17:29,367 --> 00:17:31,267
and when we got down to the

487
00:17:31,267 --> 00:17:33,467
Final person as to who the

488
00:17:33,467 --> 00:17:34,868
final couple as to who was

489
00:17:34,868 --> 00:17:36,767
going to be selected, our city

490
00:17:36,767 --> 00:17:38,167
manager was unanimous that we

491
00:17:38,167 --> 00:17:39,868
chose wayne no, not a bit

492
00:17:39,868 --> 00:17:41,467
of hesitation for many of us on

493
00:17:41,467 --> 00:17:43,167
Council I think we were all

494
00:17:43,167 --> 00:17:45,167
very, very impressed with what

495
00:17:45,167 --> 00:17:46,534
you had done with montgomery

496
00:17:46,534 --> 00:17:48,100
and what you brought to the

497
00:17:48,100 --> 00:17:50,367
city of set. What assured us

498
00:17:50,367 --> 00:17:51,167
That you would bring to the

499
00:17:51,167 --> 00:17:53,267
city of centreville and we had

500
00:17:53,267 --> 00:17:56,100
a 12 to 18 month goal and both

501
00:17:56,100 --> 00:17:57,734
goals for wayne and you met

502
00:17:57,734 --> 00:18:00,767
them all and we couldn't be

503
00:18:00,767 --> 00:18:04,467
More pleased and that that you

504
00:18:04,467 --> 00:18:06,567
have worked so well with our

505
00:18:06,567 --> 00:18:08,467
community and with us and we

506
00:18:08,467 --> 00:18:11,934
couldn't ask for any more. And

507
00:18:11,934 --> 00:18:14,167
As bill said and I mentioned to

508
00:18:14,167 --> 00:18:16,367
you the other day we we've had

509
00:18:16,367 --> 00:18:18,367
gender meetings now for nine

510
00:18:18,367 --> 00:18:20,667
plus years and I've never

511
00:18:20,667 --> 00:18:22,000
Walked out of an agenda

512
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:23,467
meeting. I've never walked out

513
00:18:23,467 --> 00:18:24,567
of a I don't think any of us

514
00:18:24,567 --> 00:18:26,267
had where we thought we're not

515
00:18:26,267 --> 00:18:27,667
moving in the right direction

516
00:18:27,667 --> 00:18:30,534
and and that's that's a credit

517
00:18:30,534 --> 00:18:31,834
To you that's a credit to the

518
00:18:31,834 --> 00:18:34,267
great staff that that you that

519
00:18:34,267 --> 00:18:36,834
you brought into the city and I

520
00:18:36,834 --> 00:18:37,868
don't know who said it I think

521
00:18:37,868 --> 00:18:39,834
was bill said the culture

522
00:18:39,834 --> 00:18:42,367
absolutely the the culture and

523
00:18:42,367 --> 00:18:44,267
So that the culture of of the

524
00:18:44,267 --> 00:18:45,467
city of centreville and the

525
00:18:45,467 --> 00:18:48,734
staff and how you work

526
00:18:48,734 --> 00:18:51,834
outstanding and you know big

527
00:18:51,834 --> 00:18:53,567
Projects are not handled in one

528
00:18:53,567 --> 00:18:56,567
day there with the concept of a

529
00:18:56,567 --> 00:18:57,734
little bit of improvement every

530
00:18:57,734 --> 00:18:59,868
day and that's that's what

531
00:18:59,868 --> 00:19:02,567
you've done and I know you

532
00:19:02,567 --> 00:19:03,534
Didn't come in and say we're

533
00:19:03,534 --> 00:19:04,467
not going to we're going to do

534
00:19:04,467 --> 00:19:05,868
an event center in a way or go

535
00:19:05,868 --> 00:19:06,868
and that's it, we'll get it

536
00:19:06,868 --> 00:19:08,934
done. It was oh every day

537
00:19:08,934 --> 00:19:11,100
working with staff, working

538
00:19:11,100 --> 00:19:12,367
With council to improve our

539
00:19:12,367 --> 00:19:14,100
community and we are so

540
00:19:14,100 --> 00:19:15,567
fortunate. I'm sorry you're

541
00:19:15,567 --> 00:19:17,267
leaving but I understand it

542
00:19:17,267 --> 00:19:18,467
after the last meeting that

543
00:19:18,467 --> 00:19:21,167
went on to about 11:00 those

544
00:19:21,167 --> 00:19:24,100
Meetings are tough at night and

545
00:19:24,100 --> 00:19:26,267

546
00:19:26,267 --> 00:19:29,100

hope that that it does I feel

550
00:19:36,100 --> 00:19:37,667
positive that it what it will

551
00:19:37,667 --> 00:19:38,868

552
00:19:38,868 --> 00:19:40,100

00:20:04,267 --> 00:20:05,634
thank you for all the kind

566
00:20:05,634 --> 00:20:10,100
words I'm going back to to

567
00:20:10,100 --> 00:20:12,767
Build point culture strategy

568
00:20:12,767 --> 00:20:15,267
for breakfast and if you don't

569
00:20:15,267 --> 00:20:17,868
create a culture the culture

570
00:20:17,868 --> 00:20:20,834
will create itself. And so I've

571
00:20:20,834 --> 00:20:22,167
Been fortunate to be able to

572
00:20:22,167 --> 00:20:24,767
work with you. City council

573
00:20:24,767 --> 00:20:26,767
have the support for creating

574
00:20:26,767 --> 00:20:28,667
that culture because it does it

575
00:20:28,667 --> 00:20:30,834
takes resources to to build a

576
00:20:30,834 --> 00:20:33,467
Culture mostly time and the

577
00:20:33,467 --> 00:20:35,100
relationship building that's

578
00:20:35,100 --> 00:20:37,367
necessary for that but you also

579
00:20:37,367 --> 00:20:39,467
need to make some investment

580
00:20:39,467 --> 00:20:42,868
of of funding but I will miss

581
00:20:42,868 --> 00:20:44,467
Working with city council. I

582
00:20:44,467 --> 00:20:46,667
will miss working with the best

583
00:20:46,667 --> 00:20:48,634
team and I'm not saying it

584
00:20:48,634 --> 00:20:51,167
because we're here tonight. I'm

585
00:20:51,167 --> 00:20:53,367
Saying it because it's the best

586
00:20:53,367 --> 00:20:55,734
team I've ever worked with and

587
00:20:55,734 --> 00:20:57,267
that's a heck of a way to wrap

588
00:20:57,267 --> 00:21:01,167
up your 35 year career is

589
00:21:01,167 --> 00:21:11,267
WORKING WITH PEOPLE AND WORKING

590
00:21:11,267 --> 00:21:16,267
With people like this. They

591
00:21:16,267 --> 00:21:18,767
they are an unbelievable team.

592
00:21:18,767 --> 00:21:21,567
they they're humble, they're

593
00:21:21,567 --> 00:21:24,167
Driven. They are smart. They

594
00:21:24,167 --> 00:21:26,367
they are effective and they

595
00:21:26,367 --> 00:21:28,167
care about the community that

596
00:21:28,167 --> 00:21:33,767
they serve. So it's been a

597
00:21:33,767 --> 00:21:35,634
Great run. I'll miss the work

598
00:21:35,634 --> 00:21:39,567
even the I'm all about work and

599
00:21:39,567 --> 00:21:42,067
I will be working probably

600
00:21:42,067 --> 00:21:44,367
Pretty soon after after I my

601
00:21:44,367 --> 00:21:47,167
last day on november 10th. But

602
00:21:47,167 --> 00:21:49,167
the important thing is I think

603
00:21:49,167 --> 00:21:51,367
the city of center bill is in a

604
00:21:51,367 --> 00:21:54,467
Fantastic place. I think the

605
00:21:54,467 --> 00:21:57,267
resources are aligned I think

606
00:21:57,267 --> 00:22:00,067
put in an organized fashion so

607
00:22:00,067 --> 00:22:01,467
My successor michael norton

608
00:22:01,467 --> 00:22:03,634
smith will know how to insert

609
00:22:03,634 --> 00:22:06,267
the key, turn it and keep it

610
00:22:06,267 --> 00:22:08,667
moving forward with many of our

611
00:22:08,667 --> 00:22:11,000
staff with the exception

612
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,767
Of tyler and tyler's moving on

613
00:22:13,767 --> 00:22:15,467
I think with the support of all

614
00:22:15,467 --> 00:22:17,767
of us even though we are anti

615
00:22:17,767 --> 00:22:20,267
his move we are we are we are

616
00:22:20,267 --> 00:22:22,100
In favor of his move because

617
00:22:22,100 --> 00:22:23,734
it's going to be better I think

618
00:22:23,734 --> 00:22:25,367
for his personal and

619
00:22:25,367 --> 00:22:27,100
professional life moving

620
00:22:27,100 --> 00:22:29,067
forward. So he will certainly

621
00:22:29,067 --> 00:22:32,267
be missed as well. So I, I say

622
00:22:32,267 --> 00:22:33,767
Thank you for the kind words

623
00:22:33,767 --> 00:22:35,100
thank you for the support that

624
00:22:35,100 --> 00:22:37,267
you've given me over nine years

625
00:22:37,267 --> 00:22:39,167
and I'm talking to both council

626
00:22:39,167 --> 00:22:41,667
and staff and citizens in the

627
00:22:41,667 --> 00:22:44,000
Process and couldn't have done

628
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,667
it wouldn't have want to have

629
00:22:45,667 --> 00:22:49,000
done it without all of you and

630
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,767
I've been pretty darn fortunate

631
00:22:50,767 --> 00:22:52,367
To be able to make that happen

632
00:22:52,367 --> 00:22:55,367
so thank you. Thank you wayne.

633
00:22:55,367 --> 00:23:00,100
thanks wayne. You did mention

634
00:23:00,100 --> 00:23:04,167
Tyler if we can just tyler

635
00:23:04,167 --> 00:23:05,767
would you might just if you do

636
00:23:05,767 --> 00:23:07,934
mind. Tyler just telling us to

637
00:23:07,934 --> 00:23:09,267
where you're heading off to

638
00:23:09,267 --> 00:23:10,667
that but we are locking the

639
00:23:10,667 --> 00:23:12,367
Doors so that you can leave

640
00:23:12,367 --> 00:23:14,934
soon. Absolutely. Thank you.

641
00:23:14,934 --> 00:23:16,767
thank you, mayor. And you know,

642
00:23:16,767 --> 00:23:17,934
similar to wayne, I've been

643
00:23:17,934 --> 00:23:19,467
here almost eight years and you

644
00:23:19,467 --> 00:23:20,868
know we've accomplished a lot

645
00:23:20,868 --> 00:23:21,868
Together and looking at this

646
00:23:21,868 --> 00:23:23,367
slide going back and forth here

647
00:23:23,367 --> 00:23:25,000
on the show and the memories

648
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,267
that kick in and all the people

649
00:23:26,267 --> 00:23:27,734
that I've worked with things

650
00:23:27,734 --> 00:23:28,734
that I'll definitely carry with

651
00:23:28,734 --> 00:23:30,100
me the almost eight years I've

652
00:23:30,100 --> 00:23:31,000
Been here so I'll miss this

653
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,167
place. It is bittersweet unique

654
00:23:33,167 --> 00:23:34,567
opportunity to go to go home or

655
00:23:34,567 --> 00:23:36,868
close to home. It's the butler

656
00:23:36,868 --> 00:23:38,267
county finance authority is the

657
00:23:38,267 --> 00:23:40,267
name. It's the old butler

658
00:23:40,267 --> 00:23:41,167
County port authority. It's

659
00:23:41,167 --> 00:23:42,267
been rebranded the last couple

660
00:23:42,267 --> 00:23:43,367
of years. My former city

661
00:23:43,367 --> 00:23:45,267
manager and hamilton joshua

662
00:23:45,267 --> 00:23:46,367
smith, he left a couple

663
00:23:46,367 --> 00:23:48,000
of years ago at the city and

664
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,367
started up a restart of this

665
00:23:49,367 --> 00:23:51,467
organization to be active and

666
00:23:51,467 --> 00:23:53,367
Foster development and

667
00:23:53,367 --> 00:23:55,367
financing and administration

668
00:23:55,367 --> 00:23:56,267
throughout the entire county.

669
00:23:56,267 --> 00:23:58,000
so I will be helping him. It's

670
00:23:58,000 --> 00:23:59,267
a small team so it'll be not

671
00:23:59,267 --> 00:24:00,467
what I'm used to at least the

672
00:24:00,467 --> 00:24:01,367
City of hamilton which is much

673
00:24:01,367 --> 00:24:03,067
bigger than also here having

674
00:24:03,067 --> 00:24:04,000
lots of people. So it will be

675
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,167
smaller but it'll be different

676
00:24:06,167 --> 00:24:07,267
but similar. So I'm excited for

677
00:24:07,267 --> 00:24:09,000
that close to home obviously

678
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,534
it's still being public sector

679
00:24:10,534 --> 00:24:12,367
Doing what I know administrator

680
00:24:12,367 --> 00:24:13,267
and economic development and

681
00:24:13,267 --> 00:24:14,868
finance so looking forward to

682
00:24:14,868 --> 00:24:16,567
it. Unique opportunity so it

683
00:24:16,567 --> 00:24:18,467
was too too good to pass up and

684
00:24:18,467 --> 00:24:19,367
but I will miss this place for

685
00:24:19,367 --> 00:24:21,167
sure for sure. Well we

686
00:24:21,167 --> 00:24:22,767
Appreciate what you brought to

687
00:24:22,767 --> 00:24:26,167
the finance department and john

688
00:24:26,167 --> 00:24:29,067
parcher. I talked to john. He

689
00:24:29,067 --> 00:24:30,267
was unhappy that you were

690
00:24:30,267 --> 00:24:31,367
Leaving. He called me the other

691
00:24:31,367 --> 00:24:35,267
day. Okay. I spoke about god

692
00:24:35,267 --> 00:24:39,167
love him and but his thought on

693
00:24:39,167 --> 00:24:41,634
fund balances and I also have

694
00:24:41,634 --> 00:24:44,734
In the finance committee do you

695
00:24:44,734 --> 00:24:46,267
you did a great job with that

696
00:24:46,267 --> 00:24:48,634
and the staff that you have and

697
00:24:48,634 --> 00:24:50,000
you kind of dug out of a hole

698
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:51,767
When you got here like you said

699
00:24:51,767 --> 00:24:53,267
the other day you didn't talk

700
00:24:53,267 --> 00:24:55,167
to wayne about then wasn't real

701
00:24:55,167 --> 00:24:56,634
sure why you came here at that

702
00:24:56,634 --> 00:24:58,100
point. It just was day >> three

703
00:24:58,100 --> 00:25:00,934
if I recall. I think I was like

704
00:25:00,934 --> 00:25:02,767
I don't know about this. This

705
00:25:02,767 --> 00:25:04,167
is going to be a lot but we got

706
00:25:04,167 --> 00:25:05,067
there and it makes it all

707
00:25:05,067 --> 00:25:05,934
obvious we want to get through

708
00:25:05,934 --> 00:25:07,000
all that and the things you

709
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:07,767
learned from from those

710
00:25:07,767 --> 00:25:09,767
situation so well >> when you

711
00:25:09,767 --> 00:25:11,100
will start will they start with

712
00:25:11,100 --> 00:25:12,634
Dos down there where you have

713
00:25:12,634 --> 00:25:13,667
>> I don't know if they have

714
00:25:13,667 --> 00:25:16,000
software at all. So okay. I

715
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,067
think they want to become more

716
00:25:17,067 --> 00:25:18,167
sophisticated so I'll be

717
00:25:18,167 --> 00:25:19,367
handling all the day to day and

718
00:25:19,367 --> 00:25:20,267
then also structuring

719
00:25:20,267 --> 00:25:21,567
Financings and getting out

720
00:25:21,567 --> 00:25:22,467
of the communities as well with

721
00:25:22,467 --> 00:25:23,567
development. So we do a little

722
00:25:23,567 --> 00:25:24,667
bit of everything. Well please

723
00:25:24,667 --> 00:25:26,467
come back and see us here.

724
00:25:26,467 --> 00:25:27,467
absolutely. I won't be a

725
00:25:27,467 --> 00:25:29,167
stranger. Okay. I know too many

726
00:25:29,167 --> 00:25:30,834
good people here so I'll be

727
00:25:30,834 --> 00:25:32,267
Around despite the by the

728
00:25:32,267 --> 00:25:33,467
drive. Well thank you for all

729
00:25:33,467 --> 00:25:35,167
your work. Definitely did a

730
00:25:35,167 --> 00:25:39,067
great job. Thank you. Okay it

731
00:25:39,067 --> 00:25:39,934
wayne, I'm going to turn it

732
00:25:39,934 --> 00:25:41,100
over to you for the city

733
00:25:41,100 --> 00:25:42,868
Manager's report. Anything else

734
00:25:42,868 --> 00:25:47,567
you want to say tonight? Not

735
00:25:47,567 --> 00:25:48,734
really. I think we covered in

736
00:25:48,734 --> 00:25:50,367
work session and there we

737
00:25:50,367 --> 00:25:51,567
Actually covered in the work

738
00:25:51,567 --> 00:25:54,100
session prior to two a week

739
00:25:54,100 --> 00:25:56,367
ago. So not really anything new

740
00:25:56,367 --> 00:25:58,467
to report tonight. Okay. Thank

741
00:25:58,467 --> 00:26:01,767
you. Thank you. We will >> move

742
00:26:01,767 --> 00:26:03,667
On to all business. There is no

743
00:26:03,667 --> 00:26:06,167
business this evening and we

744
00:26:06,167 --> 00:26:08,367
also under new business we have

745
00:26:08,367 --> 00:26:10,100
no business this evening so we

746
00:26:10,100 --> 00:26:11,367
Will move on to the consent

747
00:26:11,367 --> 00:26:13,934
agenda and the consent agenda

748
00:26:13,934 --> 00:26:15,467
are items that have been

749
00:26:15,467 --> 00:26:16,767
considered by city council. We

750
00:26:16,767 --> 00:26:17,934
do consider them to be

751
00:26:17,934 --> 00:26:20,067
