“These 8 years have gone by too quickly. My eternal thanks to the dedicated staff at our city and the serving mayor and councillors over these 2 terms,” Mercer said. “While we often disagreed on many of the issues and debated aggressively at times, it was always respectful and professional. After [a] vote was cast, we all accepted the democratic process and moved on remaining colleagues and friends. It was a pleasure to go to work. As we move through chapters of our lives we all hope that we have left behind something that is as good or better than we found it. I have done my best.  My colleagues at the table and city staff are friends, we wont be strangers.”

As for who he’ll support in this fall’s election, Mercer said he’ll speak up at the right time.

“You know I’ll have an opinion on the upcoming election,” he said. “I’ll leave that for now but stay tuned! Good luck to my fellow councillors who are running for reelection.  I look forward to helping in any way I can!  Thanks all!”
