here of Distinction uh there are many friends here but most of all it's our community that's here and um and welcome and thank you we we have such a magnificent town that we live in uh with that I'll begin I have to say I'm humbled and honored to be here today taking my sixth o of office as your mayor uh I've never been one to take compliments well and the warm reception you have given me here today is of no exception please accept my heartfelt appreciation and gratitude I'm deeply uh appreciative of the faith and confidence confidence that you have shown in me giving me the opportunity to return to a job that I love for community that I love four years ago one of the most difficult moments in my life life was deciding to step down as your mayor and end my official role in public service but my wife Janice needed me at that time as she was battling cancer I knew it was the right thing to be by her side and help her in any way I can so in the end the choice was easy for me I want to thank everyone who prayed for Janice that people who would stop us that right to ask about her health the people who would send emails notes and all the special prayers so I'm proud to tell everyone that Janice is now cancer free and I'm back you know when you fall in love with a girl you get weepy there's a lot happening in the world these days and much of it unfortunately is not good but we're here at Burrow hole to solve The World's problems we're here to solve the burrow problems uh you have elected this parrow Council and me to do a very specific job to provide you with the best municipal services at the lowest cost possible the people you see on this di while they are all Republicans that is not the important part no matter their opinions on national debt Global warnings or Foreign Wars or if tra uh Travis Kelsey should marry Taylor smwi it's not why we're here we're here to make sure you're and this is the God's honest truth you know for six terms I've always said to people we're here to provide a service that's what local government does we're here to provide a service we're here to make sure your trash is regularly picked up that the snow is was plowed that the leaves are picked up the library Embraces the latest technology the municipal parks are in a great shape and safe for your children and that the police fire and emergency squads are well trained and well equipped as mayor with a lot of experience my job is to make sure it all happens there is plenty on the plate for 2024 and here are just some examples the number one issue that I run across when I go around town is people complain to me about the volume of traffic traffic is a huge issue in saille and trust me I know it living in a busy neighborhood between ernston Road Bown Avenue and Washington Road over the past four years there's been a tremendous spike in the number of cars and trucks on our local roads that is why I've been meeting with police chief Daniel plumacher and I have directed him to develop traffic studies the first step in providing the relief that we all need but I'm not interested in just studies both the chief and I want to quickly develop real solutions that can be implemented this year as part of an ongoing effort to address this traffic problem in our town another critical issue is the need to repair and replace roads throughout our town serville has about 600 streets and our crews have only addressed a handful of them each year meanwhile others are crumbling evid throughout the campaign season as I knocked on doors and voters pointed out potholes the roads will get fixed that's the second priority thirdly we are squarely focused on improving the quality and quantity of athletic fields in SVO while our kids are not professional athletes they certainly deserve to play in facil in facilities that are of similar quality to their away games attending a youth sporting event in cble should be filled should fill one with pride and that includes making sure the playing services are on a par with surrounding communities you'll be hearing plenty from me in the coming weeks and months as the burrow Council and administration work through these priorities that I'm establishing over the past four years I've spent I've spent plenty of time speaking with you about the future of cille I've listened and I've learned and together we'll be implementing the initiatives and goals to serve you and the next generation of residents it's time to get to work and after four years on the sidelines I'm ready to begin thank you all again for your trust and support may God bless America may God bless zille and may God bless our men and women in the military defending our freedom thank you one and [Applause] all and with that we'll go to councilman Michael Ki thank you mayor and uh I'd like to thank everyone for coming today uh for your and to have your continued support but uh the other reason why I'm here along with everyone else
