RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Leesburg in Virginia as follows:

the Council during such time as the town manager is willing to perform the
duties of town manager, then in that event the town manager shall receive as

STATEMENT
The challenge and opportunity made available to me last night as Leesburg's
new town manager is very much appreciated. I want to thank the mayor and each
member of Council for the support that has been given me and the rest of our
staff during the last two and one-half months. A large measure of any credit
for our ability to carry out the important business of the town during the major
transition that has occurred after July 1 must be given to the fine staff that
we have been privileged to employ.
I'm confident that our efforts to assemble a competent and professional
staff will end this month and that the candidates selected will be equal to the
challenge placed before us by the Council and the citizens of Leesburg.
Leesburg is blessed with an historic and architectural heritage that few
communities in Virginia can match. Our job is to preserve that heritage and
at the same time maintain our local economic vitality through sound business
retention programs, good planning and a strong economic development effort.
I look forward to participating in an assessment of the important issues that
this Council plans to address within the next four years and I am eager to implement
those programs the Council considers important to Leesburg's future.
