Certificates of Election were given to newly elected
officials.
Mayor Moses presented Supervisor'Molina with Roses and
thanked her for administering the Oaths of Office as well as
for attending the Reorganization Meeting.
Councilman Naranjo made the following statement:
"I'd like to take this opportunity the thank the
residents of the City of Azusa for giving me and
bestowing upon me the power to be reelected and
serve the people of this community. It's been my
distinct pleasure over the last four years to have
served you and I look forward to continue to
provide public service to a proud community and
I'd also like to welcome our new colleague aboard,
Cristina Cruz Madrid, and I look forward to working
with all the Council, hopefully we can work
together to make Azusa a better place for all to
enjoy again and I thank all of you".
1 Councilwoman
Madrid made the following statement:
"I want to thank all of you for coming tonight and
I welcome this opportunity to be of service for the
community of Azusa, for my community. I need to
thank those people who made my victory and our
victory possible and thats first of all my
parents, my father Lucio Cruz, my mother Caroline
Cruz, my sisters and my sons, my brothers in law
and my nephews and also the many campaign workers
and we had no existing campaign committee. I hadn't
run before and we went from zero to sixty in about
four days and were able to get the campaign off the
ground and we mobilized more votes than the other
candidates, luckily many more than the other
candidates and that was based on what I call the
quality of my bench. Just like in the NBA, I had
extremely talented people assisting me, people that
came in at different times and offered different
services. I had a large number of people that
worked on telephone banks, another group of people
that went precinct walking, another group of people
that worked on the preparation of my written
materials and other individuals that helped me with
the video, the commercial on local cable access and
I feel very fortunate to be here tonight but what I
feel more importantly is that I am merely a
manifestation of you. I represent, I was voted
because what I was articulating were the things you
wanted to have in this community. You were looking
for leadership, you were looking for responsibility
and for direction and so I took no credit for that
--__.____but merely being able to manifest those things -for—_-
you; and so I accept this responsibility with great
feelings of, well some trepidation, there are some

fear of making mistakes but also opportunity to be
of service to my community to give back what Azusa
and the schools have given to me and to create the
kind of community that we can be here in Azusa and
that is the premiere community having everything
that we want and need, so the people here can
really flourish and I thank you for that
opportunity".
Mayor Moses made the following statement:
Statement by
'
Mayor Moses
"As for myself, I have received the greatest honor
that anyone could achieve in the City of Azusa or
elsewhere as being Mayor. I do want to say that I
am very honored, this has been my sixth term. You
have confidence in me. I also want to say that I
promise that I will give it my very best. I'll
also promise that I will always be a gentleman up
here, that regardless of anything and everything I
will try to get along with my collegues. We all
shook hands again and I hope this stays in
solidarity I hope, for the betterment of the City.
I think that we've all learned a little, that is,
the ones that are up here, that sometimes you have
to get burned sometimes a couple of times before
you learn. But once again, my heart goes out to
the citizens of Azusa and I just want to say to you
that I'm going to be the very best servant anyone
can to all of you here, that includes the people
who voted for me and the people who did not vote
for me because that is the American way, so I want
to say to all of you thank you and God Bless each
and every one of you, I love all of you, all of you
the same.
Moved by Mayor Moses, seconded by Councilman Naranjo
Alexander
and unanimously carried by roll call that Councilman
