ENews for Weekending May 24, 2013

Small town hospitality, big city advantages

Greetings!

Last evening's City Council Meetings saw a number of business matters conducted, including the canvass of the May 11, 2013 General Election for City Council Place Nos. 1, 3, and 5.

Following the Canvass, the Mayor and City Council honored Councilwoman Kathy Hill and Councilwoman Irene Baldridge for their years of service.

City Council Members recently elected received their Certificates of Election and Oaths of Office. Then, Councilman Ricardo Ruiz, Councilman Abraham Diaz, and Councilman Paul Biever took their seats at the dais to begin their respective terms of office.

There was a capacity crowd at a short reception honoring all the Council Members in Places 1, 3, and 5, immediately following the Canvass Meeting.

We hope you will observe and enjoy a safe M
