The City of Meadowlakes was among cities with uncontested city elections in 2016 and three city leaders will continue service on the city council.
Mayor Mary Ann Raesener and councilmen Mike Barry in Place 1 and Jerry Drummond in Place 3 renewed their oath of office before City Secretary Loren Tuesday, May 17. Barry Cunningham was re-elected mayor pro tem.
David Baker addressed the council in a pre-meeting workshop to present the results of the study by the new study committee he heads.
“This item was added mainly for direction of staff regarding the Capital Improvements and Long Range Planning Committee’s recommendations,” said City Manager Johnnie Thompson.
“These are needs we found,” Baker told the council, clearly anticipating the questions that immediately began. “Paying for them would be your problem.”
