From minutes of last week's ignite cda board meeting:

Following the pledge of allegiance, Chairman Davis shared with the audience that Commissioner Patzer is retiring from the ignite cda board effective at the close of the board meeting.

Chairman Davis, on behalf of the Board of Commissioners, expressed deep gratitude for all of the time and effort put forward by Commissioner Patzer over the past 20 years. Chairman Davis presented Commissioner Patzer with a plaque commemorating his valued service to the community by serving as a commissioner on the ignite cda board.

Commissioner Patzer has also recently retired from the City of CDA Parks and Recreation Commission. Bill Greenwood, City of CDA Parks and Recreation Director, on behalf of the City’s Parks & Recreation Commission, presented Commissioner Patzer with a plaque thanking him for his time and dedication serving the city on the Parks & Recreation Commission.

Commissioner Patzer shared his thanks to both the city and ignite cda for their remarks, and encouraged the public to stay engaged in the affairs and initiatives of both the city and ignite cda because involvement of the community in the public realm is key to the success of public entities.
