County Commissioner Potter – Justin Fischer It is with deep sadness that we learned today of the untimely passing of Oakland County Commissioner Jeff Potter. Jeff represented the majority of the residents on Novi's north end, myself included, as well as the residents of South Lyon, Lyon Township, Wixom, and Walled Lake. Prior to Jeff's election to the Oakland County Commission, he served South Lyon as Mayor for 13 years. He had also served as a city council member and on various boards and commissions. Despite his longstanding connection to South Lyon, Jeff was a very dedicated servant to Novi. He was more than willing to talk Novi issues when I would see him at various City of Novi functions and SEMCOG meetings. There is no doubt that Jeff strived to increase the quality of life in Novi and Oakland County given his work on the Huron Valley Trail System. And Jeff shared an appreciation for reducing the cost of government through partnerships – and I find it rather fitting that we approved an intergovernmental agreement with the City of South Lyon this evening. I also lost Jeff as part of my extended Ford family as well. Jeff spent 30+ years with Ford Motor Company in Wixom, prior to his retirement a few years back. Novi, and Oakland County were very lucky to have such a dedicated public servant in Jeff and he will surely be missed. I know his family and friends are all of our thoughts and prayers today. CONSENT AGENDA REMOVALS FOR COUNCIL ACTION - None AUDIENCE COMMENT – None ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before Council, the meeting was adjourned at 7:04 P.M. _______________________________ ________________________________ Robert Gatt, Mayor Pro Tem Maryanne Cornelius, City Clerk _______________________________ Date approved: July 12, 2010 Transcribed by Charlene McLean
