Council members offer brief tributes to Stacy after canvass
Summary
After completing the canvass of April 7 election returns, council members used the short meeting to thank a member named Stacy for years of leadership and service; speakers praised staff and referenced recent local crises and accomplishments.
Following the canvass and before adjournment, several council members offered personal remarks of thanks to a council member identified in the record as Stacy. The presiding officer called Stacy’s service a “real pleasure” and praised city staff, including “Dr. Haskin,” and the administration for making the council’s work easier. Other members praised Stacy’s leadership through recent local challenges, citing water issues, crime, a fire, Confederate monument removals and the COVID period.
Speakers expressed personal appreciation and good wishes for Stacy’s future activities. One council member called Stacy “the first woman to lead” in a particular arena and said the position leaves “a lot of shoes to fill.” Another speaker recounted early pandemic meetings and an anecdote about staff fogging the dais. The remarks were delivered as part of the meeting’s closing comments and were not linked to formal council actions.
A motion to adjourn followed the remarks; the chair called for ayes and declared the meeting adjourned.
