Welcome aboard, Chief! We have a great city, and you come with excellent credentials. It sounds like a perfect match. We are please you are joining the team.
ReplyDeleteChief Gibson was confirmed in April with many KUDOS from Council (click on first link of this post for my April story). The Chief's January 7 Chat will be his first interface with citizens on a VERY hot issue. I encourage everyone to attend his January talk. I won't miss this one!
ReplyDeleteRNB COMMENT: On Tuesday, December 21 the city notified the Redmond Reporter and KIRO about their last minute holiday change in red-light start times from Jan. 1 to Feb. 1. RNB was not notified or recieve a press release. I called the Mayor's Secretary to verify what I read, second hand, and request all press releases. I advised her to correct the dFocus announcement if possible.
