City Treasurer Richard Mays
and Mayor Enid Joffe were honored at Tuesday night’s City Council meeting.
Mays, a 32-year retired veteran of the Sierra Madre Volunteer Fire Department,
had been treasurer for four years, and decided not to run for office again. He
was replaced by George Enyedi, who was sworn in later in the evening, and who
then announced that he was going to make Mays his Deputy City Treasurer.
Mayor Enid Joffe received
commendations from the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments, and
representatives from the offices of Congressman David Dreier, State Senator Bob
Margett, and Assemblyman Anthony Adams. She also received commendations from
County Supervisor Michael Antonovich and the City of Sierra Madre. Council
Member John Buchanan presented her with a framed Centennial Community photo from
the Sierra Madre Centennial Community Picnic with an inset of her accepting the
All-America City Award in 2007.
Joffe said she hoped she
would be remembered for, among other things, having been part of the team that
negotiated the first multi-year contract with the Police in a decade, helped
bring Senior Housing into the community and hiring a Senior Activity
Coordinator, helped fund projects to re-build water infrastructure, inaugurated
Paramedic service in town and then helped fund it with Measures U and UA.
Buchanan was sworn in for a
second term, and Maryann MacGillvray was sworn in as a City Council member
also. Nancy Shollenberger and Enyedi took the oath of office for City Clerk and
City Treasurer respectively, as well.
Kurt Zimmerman was voted in
as Mayor, and MacGillivray was voted in as Mayor pro tem.
Council also chose Martin
and Chapman, the firm that counted the votes originally, to do the recount of
the City Clerk’s race. However, since Martin and Chapman has so far stated they
don’t think it’s appropriate for them to do the recount, the Council put a
back-up plan in place, choosing a Duarte company to do the recount in the event
Martin and Chapman holds firm. The recount must start by next Tuesday.
