Bountiful City honored long‑time employee Lana Richardson (who said her current last name is Abeko) during the April 8 City Council meeting, recognizing more than 43 years of service to the city.
Erin, the city prosecutor, and other speakers recounted Richardson’s time at the city, which began in 1982 in redevelopment and later included work supporting the legal department, code enforcement, city management and the city recorder’s office.
