2023 City of Gunnison Words of Thanks The City of Gunnison would like to share sentiments of gratitude from exiting Councilmembers Boe Freeburn and Mallory Logan. In reflecting on their terms, both Councilors extend their thanks to the Gunnison community. Councilor Boe Freeburn A word of gratitude for Thanksgiving to all the fine members of the City of Gunnison- Four years have passed seemingly so quickly since I was first elected to sit on the City's Council. During my time serving the people of Gunnison I gained a healthy education on civics and how a Home Rule city government works. I also witnessed an "insider's" perspective on how our community rallied to combat the challenges brought upon. us as the COVID epidemic swept through our town and Nation. It was always apparent to me that we live in a super special place where people truly care about one another, but to see firsthand how our city officials and outstanding members of our community stepped up to get us through was truly amazing. I also want to mention what an honor it has been to serve on council with such dedicated, compassionate, smart colleagues. The issues presented to us were not always easy to resolve but I feel as individuals we could come to consensus to make decisions that would best serve our constituents. All in all, I feel our community is going in the right direction. We have voted and passed ballot issue 28 which will provide resources to continue funding our Recreation department into the future and at the same time provide funding to keep our streets in the condition we all expect and deserve without raising taxes. Again, Thank You Gunnison for trusting me to serve you. Happy Thanksgiving, Boe Freeburn OF Mayor Pro Tem Mallory Logan In Gratitude for Gunnison - Seven years has been a blip in time and an eon all at once. I vividly remember my son Harlan, 11 at the time, loudly proclaiming "Mom, you got a 4-year sentence!" after my re-election bid in 2019. I'd be fibbing to say that sentiment didn't feel a bit fitting at times. I'd also be fibbing to say that serving on City Council hasn't changed my life in profoundly positive ways, and immensely grown my love for this remarkable place. These are a few of my favorite things: we don't always agree, but we listen to each other. Our community is unconditionally generous and unwavering in the support of their friends and neighbors. Our community truly cares and doesn't shy away from difficult conversations and processes. We show up and provide thoughtful energy and input to help our electeds make the best decisions. Our local government staff is deeply committed to the vitality and vision of our community, and they work incredibly hard to move us in the right direction. We work together to find common ground and make each other feel at home. Wouldn't you agree? WANT TO CONTACT US? Ricky Glatiotis summed up my sentiments perfectly in receiving his proclamation for "Ricky Glatiotis Day, October 22, 2023: "Thank you Gunnison, I love you Gunnison." -Mallory Logan, (soon-to-be) former Mayor Pro Tem These words of thanks remind us what is means to be a connected community. With a new Council coming to the dais upon their December 12th swearing in, the needs and values of Gunnison residents will continue to be wholly considered as the voice of the people. The City of Gunnison looks forward to welcoming in 4-year term Councilmembers Deigo Plata and Marisela Ballesteros and 2-year Councilmembers Matt Schwartz and Scott Frazier. New and returning Councilmembers will join continuing Councilor Jim Gelwicks to make up a governing body of 5. Your City Council serves as representatives of the people and as such are always available to hear your comments.
