Guatemala, Afghanistan to Indonesia. We will honor our city's varied cultural traditions and <br />perspectives by focusing on one each month, beginning in November 2019 and culminating in a <br />multi -cultural festival in July 2021 before the August World Track and Field Championship. This <br />is one city endeavor that does not include hard choices or financial trade-offs. It's just a wealth <br />of opportunity. <br />People often ask me how 1 like being mayor and if the job has turned out to be what I thought it <br />would be. The answer is: Yes, I like it; and yes, the work is just as I expected—challenging and <br />rewarding, varied and sometimes overwhelming. But in my everyday working life forthe city, <br />the job I do and the choices I make are driven by you -- your passions, your skills, your <br />investment in this community, and your capacity for hard work. <br />Optimism is a choice, and it is also a way of life. Thank you for your optimism. I'm confident of <br />the good work we will continue to do together in 2019. <br />The meeting adjourned at 7:10 p.m. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Beth Forrest <br />City Recorder <br />Link to recording of State of the City here. <br />MINUTES – State of the City Address January 3, 2019 Page 5 <br />
