“You know, as the newly appointed commissioners find their way to their seats, I just wanted to say on behalf of the council, thank you for, you know, applying and going through the process and of course going through the interview process. These men and women are volunteers. They serve on a variety of different commissions and they're the ones that are making decisions and are making sure that the city meets its mission and its goals and its priorities.
