Retiring Ward One Alderman Dickie Caperton with his grandchildren |
This meeting was also the last for Ward One Alderman Dickie Caperton who did not seek reelection. Caperton has served on the Board for 12 years. It was an emotional time as Caperton reminisced and said farewells to many including fellow board members, department heads and Mayor Hill.
Caperton noted that he had never missed a meeting during his time in office and that he took pride in that accomplishment. "I love this city. No one loves this community more than I do."
