VACANCY: We would like to thank Councilman Bill Barker for his service and time on City Council. Unfortunately, as of May 31st, he will be stepping down from this role as he has accepted a position in Virginia and will no longer reside in the city limits.
It's quite obvious that Bill loves this city and he took his role as councilman seriously and in his short time here made a huge, positive impact with his leadership. THANK YOU, BILL!
