COPjCER~!IBG: RESIGP~A~iON PROM THE CITY COUNCIL
r'y planned move to the new Rogue Valley Rianor Cottage
will take place earlier than I had anticipated. Hence, as of
July 25th, I will be residing outside the city limits and must,
therefore, tender my resignation as a member of the Ashland
City Council (Ashland Charter Article III Elective Officers,
Sections 2,
Understandably, I regret having to make this decision
prior to the end of my service on the council.
I have, and do, love Ashland, the citizens, and business
people so I leave with an ambivalence of feelings concerning
the past and the future. The past has involved many
associations with the town, college, Shakespeare, community
organizations, and various services which, I hope, enhanced
Ashland, and certainly contributed to my own personal develop-
ment.
I chose to move only a few miles away so I can still keep
in touch with the special charm of Ashland.
It has been a humbling and rewarding experience to serve
on the Ashland City Council and I certainly gained a great
deal of respect for the wisdom Ashland has shown in hiring the
best staff in the State, selecting council members who reall.V
care about the welfare of the city, and involving citizens in
the tough decisions and "crystal ball" speculations of what
Ashland can become (or not become) with their decisions.
Yay I thank all of you, and the citizens, for the
privilege and opportunity to serve as a council member and
my sincere regrets for having to resign. However, I wish only
the bes~ for the future of Ashland and will continue to follow
events and developments with renewed interest.
~uch love and respect to you all,
