They sure seem to go by fast. I hope as we near the end of this year that this communication finds all well with each of you. Life can certainly be challenging from time to time. It also brings great blessings and many opportunities. As I look out the window snow is lightly falling. Depending on how you look at it things can look beautiful or bleak. For example it will be slick which is great if you are on a skiing excursion not so great if you are driving your car. If we keep a positive attitude we can find great beauty in each of the seasons. It has been said that attitude is the difference between an ordeal and an adventure. Speaking of seasons the Christmas Season is here in full bloom. What a joyous time of year. A spirit of service and giving permeates our days. Let each of us take the opportunity to look around us and find things we can do to bringjoy into the life of another. This is especially a time for us to lift and bless the children who are in our community. Christmas lights reflecting in the eyes of a smiling child help us see the true meaning of this celebration. Let me take this opportunity to wish each of you a very Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year. Let me conclude this letter with some thoughts about a matter that has become a topic of conversation over the last few weeks. In the city of Chubbuck we have an ordinance titled "Elected Officials Compensation". It sets the salary for the city council members and the Mayor. It was set in 2005 and went into effect January 2006. It has not been adjusted since. The city council is tasked with the responsibility of adjusting this ordinance as appropriate and it can only happen on an election year. 2015 is an election year and marks 10 years since any adjustments have been made. With this in mind we are reviewing this ordinance to see if an adjustment is called for. Any adjustment made would not go into effect until January 2016. It is my http://www.cityofchubbuck.us/2014/ 12/05/mayors-newsletter-december-2014/ 111512015 City of Chubbuck — Mayors Newsletter — December 2014 hope that this ordinance can be r 41��&€h@�4Cltl�e�uia�iiDd59 fi�N� k Ct O v�H be closed Mondi made as we go similar to what we do for all city employees. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve this community. I love Chubbuck and all who call this great city home. I commit to you my very best efforts in your behalf. May the Lord keep and bless you.
