ERVIN METZGERi I have enjoyed the 10 years and 8 months on the council. Everybody keep up the good work. MAYOR HERMAN: I would like to say the same thing. I have enjoyed working with the council for the term I have been Mayor and I have been real pleased with the performance of the couneil.

SUE CARTER: Larry, I would like to say a few comments also. You and I came on the council at the same time, so this is something special. Since you have been mayor the Safety Complex was built, the storm sewer was built~ new building and general growth in Laurel, Cherry Hill I and II, industry - Boise Cascade, changes within the city administration - City Engineer, City Clerk, Police Chief and Public Utilities Director, remodelling of City Hall, balancing the budget and bringing it to a good sound financial p~¢ture, new paving in Laurel, water plant renovation and the design of the future sewage disposal plant. So I think that leaves the City to the future in very very good shape. Thank you, Larry. MAYOR HERMAN: Thank you, Sue. But really I couldn't have done that without the help of'the council, so I want to say "thank you" to the council and to all the department heads for ietting us accomplish those goals. DICK METZGER: I also want to put in a personal thanks to all the councilmen, to the ones that are leaving office, the mayor, and to those that are staying.
