Recently I have received numerous inquiries of concern regarding my unusual absence from city council meetings, based on the fact that my attendance record during these past six years has always reflected consistent attendance.

My absence is due to medical issues at this time. I anticipate being back to attending council meetings soon.

Regretfully, I am unable to actively participate with the issues at hand during this time; however, I am doing what I can to keep myself informed of the important issues facing our city in order that I will be prepared and able to continue to represent the best interests of my constituents and the city of Clearlake upon my return.

 

I extend my continual support to my city council colleagues as we all work together for the betterment of our community.

My sincere thank you to those that have sent get well cards, e-mails and the many telephone calls I have received.
