<br />-I <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />January 28, 1992 <br /> <br />Page 4 <br /> <br />Soecial Order of Business. continued <br /> <br />Consumer confidence is shaken. Taxpayer patience is worn out, I hope. <br />Perhaps this is the year that rhetoric will be replaced by debate on issues <br />so that we can rebuild confidence in government. Perhaps this year's <br />campaign will be based on qualifications and not quirks of the candidates. <br />Let's hope sol <br /> <br />As we begin our new year in New Brighton, I would like to thank the <br />residents of our great City for their support and vote of confidence in the <br />November election. I consider my reelection as a personal challenge to <br />continue our past efforts to provide quality services at an affordable cost <br />to taxpayers. I thank those friends and neighbors who also renewed their <br />commitment to New Brighton through their financial and personal support <br />during the campaign. <br /> <br />I congratulate Steve Larson and Arly Gunderman, also, for their successful <br />reelection efforts. I look forward to another term with their support, their <br />ideas, their friendship, their constructive criticism, and their commitment <br />to New Brighton. I am also looking forward to continued teamwork with <br />Dana and Roger. Together, we will meet the challenges in 1992 and <br />1993. <br /> <br />Some have suggested that our Council is somewhat unique in that we <br />don't engage in partisan, self serving posturing like some councils. I'm <br />not sure that we're all that unique. However. I do know that the five of <br />us are dedicated to listening, to learning and to leading our City in a <br />collaborative way. We each have our unique backgrounds and <br />experiences. I believe it is our blend of perspectives that enables us to <br />find solutions to perplexing issues that divide others. And, we are <br />supported by a staff of dedicated professionals that I am proud to serve as <br />well. We will need our combined wisdom and strength, even more in <br />1992. I encourage each and every citizen to join us by offering time, <br />questions and ideas. Your commitment need not be only to the City itself. <br />Your active participation in your churches, your schools, your civic groups, <br />your neighborhood watch groups or in election committees this fall will <br />help us make New Brighton a safer, more enjoyable place to live. Let <br />1992 be the year we open our hearts and our minds as we join forces in <br />making our City the best we can hope to achieve.
