~' Council Minutes of 01-18-2011 always. North Olmsted taught me how to be a public servant in every sense of the word and that lesson will never be forgotten. While there are many different roads that we take in life it is those who walk with us that make the journey worthwhile. Thank you for walking with me. Councilman Barker said it has been an honor to work with Councilwoman Jones over the past six years, and she has been a good friend and an asset to the City. Council President Limpert said that Councilwoman Jones came to this Council with many talents, and has gained even more over the past six years. He thanked her for her past and continued service. Director of Law Gareau said he echoes those words and it's been a great privilege working with Councilwoman Jones. Councilman Orlowski congratulated Councilwoman Jones and wished her the best in her new position. He will miss her as well as the residents of Ward III will. It has been a pleasure serving with her on Council for the past five years.
