Another lovely year has passed and it is time again to ponder our resolutions for the upcoming year. A poll of your City Council members revealed theirs ...
Council President Michael David resolves to support and expand existing city efforts to strive for sustainable energy strategies including pursuing alternative energy sources, supporting the local food shed and increasing multi-modal transportation. He also has a desire to ramp up discussions about developing a sustainable city hall, ultimately creating a model for all public facilities in Idaho and beyond.
Councilor Jim Slanetz would like to help Michael David with his "great list" of resolutions and spend less time in front of any type of screen.
Councilor Anne Corrock will continue to focus on ideas that maximize the use of the city's current assets, and prioritize the infrastructure needs to create and enhance Ketchum as the original, authentic, sustainable and user-friendly mountain town we love.
Councilor Baird Gourlay resolves not to be part of a statistic - that 92 percent of all resolutions are never fulfilled! He will continue his efforts in serving the community.
As your mayor, I will be tenacious in my work with Council, community and staff to create a year-round economy in Ketchum by both retaining and attracting key employers to our community and, to become a leader in sustainability.
On behalf of your City Councilors and staff at the city of Ketchum, I would like to wish you all a peaceful, happy and prosperous new year.
Nina
