Mayor McAndrew – “Thank you, Councilmember Hummel, for your years on the council/board. You are a wonderful public speaker, and I really admire you for that…and even tonight as you talked and in asking staff, how do we learn…what have we learned from this…how do we do better in the future? So, I always appreciate that. You are always very thoughtful, very well prepared. I think that you have only missed one meeting in three, correct? Yes. So, that is also very much appreciated. I know the people that you represent sincerely appreciate that. I will really miss your insight, your expertise…I really want to thank you for your service to Ward 1, your service to the whole city, and your service to the City of Clayton, so thank you very much.” • Legislative update o SB1065 regarding utility facility relocation in public right-of-ways – MOD0T will be responsible for costs not the municipality o HB2384 related to building regulations/policies that require builders, to implement green or excessive building designs for sustainability is gone and has now reverted to the IBC 2009 codes

“Rick, you know I think the world of you…and my words…I hope they can capture how much I think that you've contributed to our community over many years. I mean, we first met, I think, in a preschool classroom with the kids, so, they do grow up. And then it went to sports, you know, through elementary school and sports, middle school, high school, when you really need your village helping you raise your own kids, and so thank you for being part of that village…and at that point in time, way back a few years ago, I admired that you could be that fellow parent and, you know, working and everything else, and also be so committed to helping the school board…and so a few years later, when I was ready to try that, it was you that I turned to and you've always had that wisdom and a steadiness about you…and doing things for the right reason, you know? And I really… that's always impressed me, and I hope I've said thank you enough over time, and I'm saying it now. Those are some of the fundamentals that I've always seen in you - you're thoughtful, you're professional, you're kind. Around the console table, you do get your voice in, you have a lot of wisdoms to share, but you're always respectful of hearing the other voices, and you respect that process of, we may not get the result we want, but it comes together as a group, as the audience, and as each of us contributes to it, and you've been very steady in keeping that. And of course, your financial acumen, and the rest of us might get glazed over sometimes, and you're even patient with us with that, and it's very much appreciated what you've contributed…So, thank you…for your city, your board, now City Council…thank you for all you've always done for our community, because it's from that…your involvement with our community, knowing our community, caring about it, that you've been such an effective advocate on this council and elsewhere…and the whole community, I'm just so happy that will continue, and it's a pleasure to know you and to have worked with you, and I wish you the best. Thanks for being part of that village.”
