Supervisor Candace Andersen presented outgoing Mayor Mike Anderson with a proclamation recognizing his third term as mayor.

Andersen noted that while Lafayette has been quiet this past year compared to the other cities in Lamorinda with no sinkholes or collapsed bridges, the outgoing mayor had worked effectively to manage development and its impact on traffic and praised his ability to "rule with decorum and grace."

In his remarks as the incoming mayor, Don Tatzin also spoke of Anderson's ability to make people feel more comfortable, enabling substantial progress.

Tatzin pointed out accomplishments from the past year under Anderson's term, including roads fixed, lawsuits won and a healthy budget.

Anderson recognized each of the other council members that he said forms a cohesive group. He especially thanked Council Member Ivor Samson who stepped up to the task on short notice and whom Anderson said had been especially helpful to them in what was a fairly litigious year.

Tatzin remarked that he was delighted that they are all just "shifting chairs" with no one stepping down from the council.
