Mayor's State of the City Address March 2014

City of Orinda annually has mayor give a state of the city address outlining highlights from previous year, financial snapshot and goals for upcoming year. As mayor 2014, I gave my address March 2014 co-hosted by Rotary Club and Chamber of Commerce. It was repeated the following evening. The main issue is obtaining extra revenues for road and drainage repairs. The theme was coming together to end divisiveness from prior year, collaboration and "taking time to smell the roses." I plan to wear a rose to every city council meeting from our wonderful backyard rose garden.
