“After 25 years of cityhood, I have to hand it to past councils — whether you agreed with them or not, we’ve done pretty well. If somebody asked me what kind of percentage of satisfaction we’ve achieved, I’d say we are in a 70-80 percent, meaning that we possibly could have done a little bit better of a job, but we’re three quarters of the way successful. I look forward to the next 25 years, and I hope I’m around to be here for the 50th.”
