Three ward councilors who decided not to seek reelection (Barbara Brousal-Glaser, John Rice and Cheryl Lappin) and two at large councilors who were unseated in the November (Jim Cote and Greg Schwartz) took turns serving as acting president and offering a few parting words at Monday’s City Council meeting. This was also Councilors Marc Laredo’s and David Kalis’ final meetings as council president and vp respectively, although both will continue on as members in 2020. Watch the video (which also includes the debate over the Washington Street Vision Plan) here.

drivers man be like
This was a special, touching and yes hokey moment. I enjoyed every minute of it. It was especially fascinating to hear Councilor Schwartz talk about his family’s history of political activism. And we all should appreciate the enormity of Councilor Lappin’s exit after 17 years on the board, filling the seat formerly held by her father.
Thanks to all five soon to be councilors for their service.
