Hello,
Among the most agonizing aspects of this Pandemic is the prohibition on a proper 'goodbye'. It's especially acute when saying goodbye to revered colleagues.
After 13 years of dedicated leadership and service, Chief Glen Weeks wrapped up his final shift at the Fire Station yesterday and rode off into the sunset. In normal times, this would've included a gathering with co-workers, friends, and family. Instead, the current health order prevents all social gatherings, and so we lead by example and forgo this customary practice.
The Fire Station will be in good hands under the watchful eye of new Interim Fire Chief Mike Cahill (Ret.) with assistance from Chief Brian Kelly (Ret.). The search for a new permanent Fire Chief is underway, and if you know anyone who may be interested, please don't hesitate to send them our way. (Also, we are searching for a new Finance Director, so if you know of anyone whose good with numbers, please also send them our way!)
In the end, we're resigned to saying an inadequate goodbye under inauspicious circumstances. Fortunately, we're left with the memory of a job well done and take comfort in knowing the foundation is well laid for the continuation of exemplary service to the community.
Thank you, Chief Weeks - congratulations on your retirement!
Take Care,
Jason Holley
City Manager
