Commissioner Bernard (Bud) St. John then administered the
Oath of Office to newly elected Mayor Moses and Councilmembers
Latta and Avila.
outgoing Councilman Camarena made the followingstatement:
"First off, I would like to begin by thanking City
staff and those whom I depend upon for assistance in
my job as a Councilmember. I would like to thank the
members of the Chamber' for their recommendations in
business matters and the Azusa Unified School District
School Board, for bringing to our attention the needs
of our School District. I do not leave this office
bitter or sad, but rather disappointed in myself that
I did not get the facts out to the public. The voters
voted in an incumbent who said publicly that he would
resign if Mayor Eugene Moses was re-elected. You the
voters, voted in an incumbent who missed five regular
City Council meetings and a total of ten 6:00 P.M.
City Council meetings and who missed 80% of the 1985
budget sessions. I will still be seen at the City
Council meetings, but, now and still, as a citizen
concerned with Azusa's future. I publicly state here
tonight, that I'm still against all waste -to -energy
facilities, and I, also, feel that Azusa needs to tighten
the reins on apartment and condo construction by enacting
a three year moratorium. Again, thanks to all my friends
and those who supported me during my two and one-half
years as your City Councilman. Thank you."
Mayor Moses made the following statement:
Councilman Latta made the following statement:
"Just briefly, Mr. Mayor, I don't have a prepared
statement. I would like to thank the voters/citizens
of Azusa for the vote of confidence, and I would hope
that maybe the next couple of years, that we, as all
citizens in the same community, spend a lot more time
talking to each other, instead of about each other.
I think it would be a much more positive atmosphere
and we can get a lot more done. I look forward to,
maybe, accomplishing a lot in the next couple of years."
twly elected Councilwoman Avila made the following statement:
"Yes, I want to thank everyone that supported me and
I look forward to serving you to the best of my ability.
I want you to remember that there will be an open
communication. I want to keep that open communication.
Thank you for your confidence in me."

"I would like to thank the citizens
of Azusa for their
vote of confidence and I will assure the citizens of
Azusa that progress will take place
and we'll go much
faster than we have been. Also,
in the name of
cooperation with the City Council,
I want to shake
hands with all of the Councilmembers
and I'll try very
hard to get along with them for the
City of Azusa will
make more progress. So if there's any hatchets on
my end, its buried then. I'm looking
forward to working
with all Councilmembers. Councilman
Latta was elected
in by the people and I will honor this.
I will honor
anything that the people have me to do. I'm looking
forward to a pleasant two years and
a good two years
for the citizens of Azusa. So, I would
hope that all
Councilmembers shake hands and come
out fighting for
the citizens of Azusa instead of
fighting amongst
ourselves. That's all I have to say."
