Council Doings... by Jack Harloe The Mayor’s term ended and, as we describe in a separate article in this issue, it did not really end. Rather, On-the-Hill Republican kingmakers arranged for Mayor Norby to be the first mayor in 15 years to succeed himself, not because they love him so much, but perhaps because they love CouncilmemberJan Flory, next in rotation for the mayor’s job, even less. But before that unfolded, the Council bid adieu to outgoing Councilmember W. Peter Godfrey, letting him keep his reserved parking sign, his memories andnot much else. The Council will hold one additional meeting this year—onDec. 17, at4:00p.m. Thecity’s tree dilemma is a possible source o f entertainment; and there will be an evening session. PROCLAMATIONS: Big wars have grown more infrequent, but somehow veterans continue to be produced. It used to be just WWI and II, now it’s Korea, Viet Nam, Grenada, and lately the Gulf War. The American Legion quietly goes about attending to symbols of remembrance, in this case the Stars & Stripes. Fullerton’s Claude Payne Post 142 of the American Legion works to ensure that America’s prisoners of war and missing in action are never forgotten. Over the past 4 years, the Post has donated a dozen POW/MIA flags to the City to be used to replace worn flags flown on city facilities. Tuesday, the city commended the Post for its devotion.
