We look forward to drawing <br /> even bigger crowds in 2014. <br /> In closing, I want to acknowledge the dedication and hard work of Everett <br /> city staff — at every level. As is the case in many organizations, our <br /> employees have been asked to do more with less, and they have <br /> consistently delivered. I am honored to work alongside people who <br /> demonstrate such commitment and integrity in their daily work. <br /> I would also like to thank the city council and community leaders for <br /> partnering with my administration to set priorities, make tough decisions <br /> and continue our commitment to build a vibrant and attractive community <br /> for people to live and work. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Ray Stephanson <br /> Mayor <br /> COUNCIL <br /> Council Member Affholter expressed thanks and appreciation to his <br /> colleagues on the city council, the Mayor and his staff, and Deb Williams <br /> for all her help throughout the years. <br /> Mayor Stephanson wished Council Member Affholter the best of luck. <br /> Council Member Gipson commented on his attendance at an open house <br /> for the new Home Street Bank. <br /> 304 <br />
