Mayor Bob Freeman and City Council
This is my notice to all of you that I am retiring,effective August 31, 2016.
While I enjoyed most of my years of serving the City, it is time for me to go, due to circumstances
beyond my control. You know when enough is enough, and since things were not going to change while
I remained in office, it is time.
I love my city, and I would have served for many more years, but sometimes, God has different plans for
us.
Sincerely,
(16A6A-R--,
