As Paradise Valley’s Town Council recesses for the summer, I wanted to express my thanks to everyone involved for a great first six months of this council term.
It has been an absolute privilege and pleasure to serve as your mayor for the past six months. Your council and town staff, with valuable public input, has done a lot of excellent work to serve you.
We recently unanimously passed a balanced budget that funds all of our town’s needs in a responsible and disciplined way. In addition, I am very pleased that the council unanimously supported an additional significant payment into the police pension system before the end of the fiscal year, which will be up to a $3 million contribution toward the pensions of our police officers.
