Background

It has become a tradition for the mayor to deliver an address outlining what has been accomplished in the last year, and looking ahead to the challenges of the new year. The address is one of the few items on the agenda. Amyx’s term as mayor will end at next week’s meeting. The new commission, which also will begin its term at next week’s meeting, will select a new mayor. If tradition is upheld, it will be current Vice Mayor Sue Hack.
