25 Hearing no comments from Mayor Cornett, President Lundy shared her feelings about accepting the
26 nomination as president of the 1993 Council. She commented that she accepted the position with mixed
27 feelings, noting that she feels it will be a crucial year for the City. She reminded those present that the
28 Mayor had said in his state of the city address at the January 4, 1993 meeting, that 1992 was spent
29 planning, adjusting and laying the foundation. She said this is the year we must implement some of those •
30 plans and it will take everyone working together.
31
32 Directing her comments to her fellow Councilmembers, Lundy said: "This is our City. I ask that we put our
33 City first, and yes, our district second, and forget about ourselves completely. We must learn to disagree
34 without being disagreeable and to know that there is truth in the statement, 'United we stand, divided we
35 fall.'" She told them that when any of them find themselves in the minority vote they must join in with the
36 majority to try to make some programs work for the City and maybe next time it will be their turn.Concluding,
37 she said Council must ask for God's guidance but must go one step further and ask for the wisdom to know
38 what he's asking them to do and to be willing to be led. She ended with: "I know that we can. I only hope
39 that we shall in 1993." President Lundy also alluded to the importance of the City's celebration of Martin
40 Luther King Jr. Day in which she participated Monday,January 18, 1993.
