COMMRNTS RV NRWTN RTRr~Rn MavnR
Mayor Pope stated that the main theme of the campaign as he saw it was
the quality of life in Arroyo Grande. That quality is dictated by good planning,
good construction and housing but also by economics. Pope then charged the
Council with the task of spending wisely through proper planning of land use
and zoning but also very importantly, the expending of City funds. There are
a number of indicaters that money coming into the City might be a little less
in the years ahead and therefore the task is even more important.
In regard to the position of Mayor Pro Tern, Mayor Pope stated that
because of heavy business pressures, he would be relying on Councilman Vandeveer
to perform most of the social duties required.
Mayor Pope then stated he had personally known the previous Mayors of
Arroyo Grande since 1947 and felt that none had been more dedicated than Mayor
Mark Millis. pope spoke of Millis' ability to promote a good image for the City
of Arroyo Grande and thanked Millis for a job well done.
