Acting City Administrator read statement from retiring
Councilman Arkison, Following is text of statement:
"My absence tonight is not the act of an ungracious loser.
Tuesday nights are the culmination of my week's work at
my place of employment. If I am not present it causes an
inconvenience to other employees.
I am disappointed in having to relinquish my seat on the
City Council. I feel that in the four years I served, I
made major contributions towards the betterment of the
City government and the people it serves.
There are some matters I pursued which remain unfinished.
I would like to have seen them brought to a conclusion.
There are other matters which I had intended to pursue
had I retained my position on the Council.
It.was my mistaken belief that I did not need to conduct an
intensive campaign for reelection. My mistake was
evident on March 7, as the votes were counted.
.�+ I thoroughly enjoyed being on the Council, working with
N (and sometimes against) my four colleagues, department
Lia heads and city employees.
My deepest appreciation is extended to those voters who
gave me the opportunity to serve for four years and to
those who supported my candidacy in last week's election.
Unfortunately, for me, there were less the second time
than there were the first time.
