I want to thank Pat, City Hall facility manager , for taking the first photo of me in Dec 2017 when I took over as Mayor. Today is my last day as Mayor. Pat took this photo also. It’s been a great honor and privilege to serve the people of Derby. I am very proud of my accomplishments. I’m leaving Derby better than how I found it. Take care of everyone.”
