| Councilman Gary Hicks |
Rolla City Council member Gary Hicks (Ward 3), who has
served on the Rolla City Council since April 18, 2005, will be recognized by
Mayor Bill Jenks, III and the Rolla City Council for his service to the City at
the Dec. 17, 2012 Rolla City Council meeting.
Councilman
Hicks, who was recently elected to the position of District 2 Commissioner for
Phelps County, is required to vacate his seat on the Rolla City Council.
Councilman Hicks recently sent Mayor Jenks official notification of his
resignation as Rolla City Councilman, Ward 3, effective Dec. 31, 2012.
“The
opportunity to serve the residents of the City of Rolla has been a wonderful
experience that I will forever treasure,” said Hicks. “I wish to express my
gratitude to all the members of the Rolla City Council both past and present;
Mayor Bill Jenks; City Administrator John Butz; and all the Rolla City
employees for their devotion to our community.”
Mayor
Jenks will present Councilman Hicks with a certificate of appreciation plaque
at the Dec. 17 City Council meeting and thank him for his many years of service
and dedication to the Council and Rolla community. Hicks, who is an active
member of the community, has served on the Rolla City Council from 2005-2012.
“The City appreciates Councilman Hick’s
service on the Rolla City Council and the contributions he has made to the
Rolla community,” said Mayor Jenks. “His leadership and commitment to the Rolla
community are greatly appreciated. We look forward to working with Gary in his
role on the County Commission.”
Mayor
Jenks will appoint a new council representative of Ward 3 in the coming weeks
to fill the remaining term of Councilman Hicks, whose term officially ends in
April 2013.

Shop and dine
locally during
holiday season
With
the holiday season just around the corner, folks are beginning to make plans
for traditional family get-togethers, outings, celebrations and one of the most
special times of the year.
The
City of Rolla would like to encourage everyone to please try to patronize our
local restaurants, shops and businesses that rely heavily on the holiday season
for a large portion of their business.
As
Rolla continues to grow and develop the number and variety of dining options
and retail choices has improved as well. Our economy depends largely on these
sectors of society, and we will all benefit from keeping our dollars locally
invested.
