New Council Steps In

Coming together tonight for the first time, the new City Council members were more than comfortable with the new arrangement. Keeping the meeting a mere half hour long, a lot was covered, from comments expressed by the public for concerns of drugs and crime in our city to another sharing her overall gratitude for everything the City Council, as well as the city, does for its residents.

Council member Donna Sapienza of Ward II was first to speak among the Council. She shined light on the good work of Rick Brady, along with several University of Northern Colorado students preserving and maintaining the rivers among northern Colorado.

At Large council member Maria Secrest also spread thanks and gratitude to once again be on council and how much she has enjoyed working with the past Council.

There was one very important person missing from tonight’s meeting. Mayor Tom Norton was absent due to a three day seminar held at Harvard University for newly elected mayors, and newly elected he was. Norton has officially been mayor for a little over a day now. A special meeting was held last night to swear in Norton and relieve Ed Clark of his duties.

Overall, I think the new members are going to fit perfectly fine within their new seats at Greeley’s Council Chambers.
