Council Member Andresen said she had enjoyed her eight years on the Council. She stated that the Town's decisions were inextricably becoming more closely linked with those of the City of Durham. Council Member Andresen stated that the best way for Council Members to gain experience was to listen very hard, concentrate and meet and speak with members of the public. Noting that a few mistakes would be made from time to time, she emphasized the importance of keeping the interests of the whole Town in mind during the decision-making process. Council Member Andresen expressed her thanks to her Council colleagues.

Council Member Rimer said he had enjoyed his service on the Town's Planning Board and Council as an opportunity to serve all of the community's residents. He noted that a number of issues including regional planning and landfill matters would continue to merit the Council's attention in the future. Council Member Rimer expressed gratitude to the Town Manager and staff for assistance on a variety of issues.
