MINUTES – State of the City Address January 3, 2019 Page 5 <br />Guatemala, Afghanistan to Indonesia. We will honor our city’s varied cultural traditions and perspectives by focusing on one each month, beginning in November 2019 and culminating in a multi-cultural festival in July 2021 before the August World Track and Field Championship. This is one city endeavor that does not include hard choices or financial trade-offs. It’s just a wealth of opportunity. People often ask me how I like being mayor and if the job has turned out to be what I thought it would be. The answer is: Yes, I like it; and yes, the work is just as I expected—challenging and rewarding, varied and sometimes overwhelming. But in my everyday working life for the city, the job I do and the choices I make are driven by you -- your passions, your skills, your investment in this community, and your capacity for hard work. Optimism is a choice, and it is also a way of life. Thank you for your optimism. I’m confident of the good work we will continue to do together in 2019. The meeting adjourned at 7:10 p.m. Respectfully submitted, <br />Beth Forrest City Recorder <br />Link to recording of State of the City here. <br />January 28, 2019, Meeting - Item 2A
