I certainly cannot...so settle in! The past four years has been an invaluable experience; one that I am grateful for, though one that I certainly would not repeat in the same manner if given the chance. Serving the citizens of Gahanna as a member of City Council has been an honor and the privilege of my life. We have faced, and continue to face, serious challenges, not only as a municipality, but as an institution of government as well. I have learned many personally valuable lessons throughout my term in office; I will do my best to implement as much of that education as I can in my future endeavors. In the meantime, I will leave behind these thoughts: To my parents: Thank you, for everything. Without your love and support, I would be nowhere near this spot right here, right now. To the Staff: It has been a privilege to interact with so many individuals of your level of professionalism, integrity, qualification, and respect. As a representative of every member of this community, please accept my gratitude and appreciation for the yeoman's job each of you performs each day in service to all of us. Thank you. To our City Attorney: You have made significant and much-needed improvements to your office, and I appreciate your sage counsel regarding the important legal matters facing the City throughout our deliberations. To Mayor Stinchcomb: It has been an honor to serve with you, Mayor. Your contributions to our community are too numerous to name, but too impactful to ignore. Your legacy of service may never be quantified, but it can be qualified: meaningful, significant, and enduring. As a proud product of this city, shaped by your service and sacrifice on our behalf, I thank you. I wish you and Buck all the best as you enjoy a well-deserved retirement. To my colleagues on City Council: It has been a privilege and a pleasure to work alongside you these past few years. Despite differences in opinion, I have never once doubted any of your commitment to making Gahanna the best it can possibly be. Along with the incoming members of Council, however, I implore you: Please exercise your power to enhance the City Council as an institution equal to and independent of the executive administration. Hire the necessary staff to conduct legislative research and engage in communication with the residents. Establish the Council as a driver of the train, not just a bump on the tracks. As technological and geopolitical forces continue to rush us forward, you, as our elected representatives, must exercise the leadership necessary to keep the ship of state upright. To the residents of Gahanna: Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for allowing me the opportunity to represent this city as a member of its governing body, for bestowing your trust in me to make decisions on City of Gahanna Page 11 City Council Meeting Minutes December 21, 2015 your behalf focused on bettering our community, and for challenging me to step outside my comfort zone while doing so. My challenge to you is this: Implement the better aspects of our community values, specifically our rich history of education, to work together to solve our common problems. Punditry is not a substitute for policy; Facebook is not a substitute for philosophy. Remember: the inescapable reality of living in a community - whether global or local - is that if you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. Take the time, even if it is only a few minutes each week, to make a positive difference.I can only hope that I have made some such difference here. Thank you." Schnetzer thanked Mayor Stinchcomb for her many years of service; halfway through her tenure to the City his family put their roots in Gahanna; said it has been an honor to serve with Mr. Jolley; wished him well on future envevours; looking forward to working with Mr. Kneeland as Mayor.

Angelou asked Kneeland for an extension of the Economic Development Community Engagement Committee; Kneeland said their task was due to be complete by the end of the year; requested an extension to January 31, 2016. Kneeland thanked colleagues; said it has been an extraordinary year; thanked all Council members who were chairs or appointees for other organiziations that Council represents for their service this year; said it means a lot to the citizens; thanked Mayor Stinchcomb for her leadership and service; wished everyone a Merry Christmas and reminded everyone to spend time with their families; asked that everyone keep the Hixon family in their thoughts and prayers.
