Thank you, Chairwoman Lockhart, Commissioners and city staff. The community appreciates your hard work on behalf of the County.

This morning, let us think of the people who are in this chamber and make the most of the sharing of ideas and the goodwill that comes from this.

Let us think of the people who are in our community and impacted, by the choices being made.

Finally, let us think of the future generations, whose lives are guided by the decisions reached.

Next week the country honors the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.. He once wrote "Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'"

With that in mind, consider that January offers a new slate and this morning we begin to write upon it.

Let us write compassion.

Let us write reason.

Let us write equality.

Let us write thankfulness for what we accomplish together.

Let us aim to give our very best to Seminole County.

As the new year begins, let this new year be a year of greater possibilities and may we take the time to lift everyone in the same way others have lifted us.

Thank you.
