Today at 4:00 pm we had the opportunity to stop in and thank Councilmember Thom for her service and dedicated efforts in Mesa’s District 6.Janie Thom was the first councilmember in Mesa’s District 6. That took a lot of courage to step up to serve a vast southeast side of Mesa that has seen unprecedented spurts of growth and along with it, many accomplishments. Mayor Hawker noted at least a 24,000 increase in population since June 2002 when Councilmember Thom took office; her term ends June 5, 2006. The Mayor presented Thom with an engraved plaque that listed the many efforts she has successfully been involved in.Others that gave Councilmember Thom parting gifts with special meaning and gratitude for her support was from Dave Plumb, Utilities Department, Judge Tafoya, Mesa Court System, Interim Police Chief Gregory Fowler, and Harry Beck, Fire Chief. It was a grand celebration and well deserved.Janie, thanks again for serving Mesa and it’s residents the past 4 years.
