Mayor Harris, “I want to read for the record some of Craig’s many accomplishments. While he’s been here, he led the creation of our Strategic Plan and our Downtown Master Plan. He helped found the Clayton Century Foundation, the first public/private partnership for Clayton which has invested millions

in our city with projects we’re very proud of. He’s led us through more than 50 safe demonstrations in the aftermath of Ferguson, which was no small feat. He has also overseen over a billion dollars in commercial development and investment in our city that was not without its controversies, hang-ups and complications – job well done! He introduced the Exceptional City Scorecard, which I know he is very proud of too, to our region and to us and it’s really aided us in terms of our focus and our budgeting. He has been a major, major player in regional leadership in this area as president of the St. Louis Chapter of ICMA, the Missouri Chapter of ICMA. I think you’ve served on the International Advisory Board, Beyond Housing, and so many organizations that he’s invested his time and that were way above and beyond the call of duty. So, I know that we all feel this lucky to have had you with us for the last eleven years. As someone who was there when you started it’s been a long run and honestly, it’s sad for me that you’re leaving, but we wish you a lot of luck and we hope you’ll keep in touch with us and let us know how things are going. Don’t forget about the selfie with the giant ball of twine. I forgot to mention that Craig won the Jay T. Bell award.”

Alderman Winings, “Craig, I think that we met probably ten years ago and I’m pretty sure that the first thing we talked about was ‘what is a city manager?’ as this was before I was an alderman. What is it you actually do? I knew very little about the council/manager form of government, very little about local government, and so that was the first of many lessons that I got from you. So, I’ve learned a lot about government from you over the years, a lot about good government and I now have a healthy appreciation for the council/manager form of government. I know how important a good city manager is. As the mayor said, you’ve been an excellent executive. She mentioned a few of the things you achieved during your term here, but I’ll mention a couple of other things – I’ve always noticed you worked all the time to stay on the leading edge of your profession, by continuing your training, never stopping the educational process. I know that you’ve also encouraged staff to do that which has led to a culture of excellence here that I think that we’ll continue to service even after you are gone. Michelle mentioned the Jay T. Bell Professional Management Award which you won in 2016 for many of the reasons you mentioned, the highest honor in the State of Missouri can receive and I’d suspect you’d probably win it every year if that was cool, but it wouldn’t be fair to all of the other cities. Thank you for your service. The City of Lawrence is lucky to have you and I’m sure you’ll go on to do great things there like you did here.”

Alderman Boulton, “Craig and I had a nice little ‘win’ today with many years in the making and it was just great to do it with you. I was thinking about the kind of weird role you play because you are our colleague, we also write reviews of you so that’s a little weird, but you’ve also taught us a lot. I thought of it more as a choreographer, you know you’ve got this whole process in place and you’ve got an image of what you hope to achieve, and you try to give each of your ‘dancers’ – each of us – where we come in and are like ‘piles of mud’ and we know nothing about what we’re supposed to be doing other than we’re very passionate about it and you try to give us the tools, teach us the steps, you tell us all of the elements of the ‘dance,’ but you can’t determine our rhythm – that’s one thing that you cannot do. So, you at some point have to sit back and just kind of see how it all plays out and what we as a troupe produce and I think you’ve been a great ‘choreographer’ and I’ve loved working with you, and I’ll miss you.”

Alderman Lintz, “It’s been wonderful working with you, and I echo the comments about what a teacher you’ve been. I remember the first few years when you kind of sat back, and you kept asking us, ‘what do we want?.’ I sort of remember in your first review writing ‘he needs to be more assertive – we don’t know what we’re doing here’. I think you found a great balance in helping us see what it is that we should be looking at, what was in our purview, what really wasn’t in our purview, what we should be thinking about, and what we didn’t need to be thinking about. That was sometimes just as important- what we didn’t need to think about as what we did need to think about. From that point of view, you’ve been a great leader and I’ve really enjoyed all that you’ve given to us in that regard. I said this about Harold, and I’ll say this about you as well, ‘love working with people who I respect and it’s been a terrific time working with you.’”
