As I prepare to move on to a new phase of life, permit me to take a moment to congratulate the winners of last night’s election to the Cathedral City City Council.
After eight years of service to the people of Cathedral City, I depart knowing that, in the words of St. Paul, I have fought the good fight and run the good race. My course is run for now, and I turn to new endeavors with a clear conscience.
I also congratulate the mayor on her re-election, as well as the City Clerk on hers.
Finally, I extend my deepest thanks to the Citizens of Cathedral City who, over the years supported me and the ideas I brought to the service of this community. While I may be leaving the council, the vision I strove to articulate will continue, of building a Cathedral City we can all be proud to live in, proud to work in, and finally, proud to pass on to the next generation.
As Governor-Elect Jerry Brown has said, we must take the world as we find it. But we must never be content to leave it that way, and in the months and years to come, I hope that my service on the council will have incrementally left Cathedral City a better place for all of us.
So, while I will bid you adieu, I do so with gratitude for what has been accomplished, and hope for what lies ahead.
Regards,
Paul S. Marchand
