Interim City Manager Watson provided the Board with a summary of the 2nd Quarter Financial Report for Fiscal Year 2020 (FY20).
After that evening, you seemed to truly realize my limited knowledge and understanding of sports and its terminology. And so often you translated for me these odd phrases and analogies. As a small expression of my appreciation of our time together, I have attempted to use your language to say my thanks. ‘Right off the bat’ I’d like to say that my favorite times we shared together typically occurred due to some controversy when we had to have ‘all hands on deck’. Not that we necessarily had to all ‘row in the same direction’ but we did need to ‘get our heads in the game’ and create a ‘game plan’. We constantly tried to do our best and not ‘punch below our weight’ although at times we did want to just ‘punt’. At many of these critical moments, you helped us determine whether we needed ‘a full court press’ or to ‘just carry the ball’. Your sage advice often kept us from ‘a wild goose chase’ and while sometimes it felt like the ‘table was staked’ against us we never completely ‘crashed and burned’. Your quick number crunching mind provided ‘ballpark figures’ to work with and your willingness to always ‘step up to the plate’ was greatly appreciated. You were always professional in your approach and even in heated discussions, never hit “below the belt”. As we analyzed complex real estate deals, you never ‘let your guard down’ and you were always looking for how we might get ‘blindsided’ with unintended consequence.
You were always professional in your approach and even in heated discussions, never hit “below the belt”. As we analyzed complex real estate deals, you never ‘let your guard down’ and you were always looking for how we might get ‘blindsided’ with unintended consequence. And while a ‘win’ was always preferable, you had the ability to’ roll with the punches’ while sometimes all we could do is ‘put some points on the board’. While many of our votes were ‘split decisions’ you were always a gentleman no matter which side you were on. And drinks at Muggs was a must after those situations so we could all ‘bury the hatchet’. ‘Across the board’ you were always one to ‘knuckle down’, never ‘playing fast and loose’ with the law. I am so glad you ‘threw your hat in the ring’ 9 years ago and as we come ’down to the wire’ of your last few moments, overall your performance has ‘hands down’ been a’ hole in one’. I am so proud to have had the opportunity to serve on the same team with you and will miss your steady presence and sage advice. All the best.”
