Mayor Mark Drnek

Tomorrow, I will be shutting down this page, as I turn things over to mayor-elect Dan Buttermann.
I have enormous confidence that Dan will be exactly the mayor that we need in this moment, and I am grateful beyond words to have had this opportunity to serve our city.
Thank you to everyone who provided support, advice and insight, offered opinions and assistance, and otherwise had a hand in the successes of these past four years.
You helped formulate and realize the strategies for a more experiential city and an enhanced quality of life.
I leave our city’s government with confidence in our collective future.
From the bottom of my heart, I thank you!
It’s been an honor.

God bless you all, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
