Citi manajer Jon Gilson
The twice-a-year City Council team-building session kicked off today with a comedy team.
To show the incoming City Manager John Gillison that the council has a good sense of humor, Councilman Diane Williams presented Gillison a new name plate that reads "Jon Gilson, city manager." But perhaps the most useful gift that Gillison received was from his mentor, the outgoing city manager. Jack Lam gave Gillison a yes-man doll, a desk top figurine that spouts out all kinds of affirmations. Gillison was urged to use it following any City Council request.
Bill Mathis is the consultant hired to lead these sessions. He told Gillison, "While we have serious things going on around us, we do have a sense of humor."
