Jack Lam's last meeting
Today was City Manager Jack Lam's last City Council meeting. It's hard to believe Lam's Wednesday evenings (and other evenings) will now be free considering he has spent most Wednesdays at meetings for the last 33 years.Each council member tonight had glowing words to describe Lam, who retires at the end of this month.
The council's newest member, Chuck Buquet, served on the council when Lam was promoted to city manager.
"The best thing that ever happened to Rancho Cucamonga was Jack Lam," Buquet said.
But maybe Buquet won't think that now Lam is near retirement. It's possible that come September, Lam will be a gadfly.
"Who knows? I might walk up there and complain about a few things," Lam said, gesturing toward the lectern.
By the way, Aug. 27 is Jack Lam Day at the Quakes Stadium. The retiring city manager will throw the opening pitch. Tickets are $7 that day.
Jack is a wonderful leader and true visionary, we all wish him well as he enjoys retirement life with his family!
