Ok, so it's not official official, but everyone who matters says it official, so I guess it is. I am already meeting with the City Manager and the City Attorney to start learning the in's and out's of the city. I am going to a luncheon next week with our water agency and going to a training meeting in Sacramento in January. It is all a little over whelming, but at the same time very exciting! I am exciting to learn all I can so that I can make knowledgeable choices and decisions. I don't want to vote a certain way just because the rest of the council is. I want to vote one way or the other because I understand the issue at hand and have done my own research on it. So with that being said, I am getting sworn in at City Hall on December 10th at 6:30. I would LOVE for all of you to come, but unfortunately that is the same day as the Primary Program practice. And that I think is very important for the kids. So those of you with a spouse that can take your kids to the church, I would love for you to attend. I think it will be a real neat event. They are also lighting the city's Christmas tree and having a local school sing.
Onto a different subject, but still within my council position. I have the great opportunity to appoint 2 people to 2 different committees. One person to the planning commissions which meets the 1st and 3rd Tuesday at 6:00pm and one to the parks and recs commission which meets quarterly. Since one of the reasons I think I was elected is because I am a women, I would love to appoint a women to the commissions. If anyone is interested, please let me know. I know we are all busy with kids, scouts, church and what ever else, but if you have the time and the desire, just let me know. Us women can take over the city one committee at a time. HA HA HA!
Thanks again for all of your support through all of this. I could not have done it without you!
Until next time...........
