RESPONSE TO REMARKS OF THE MAYOR
President Wilshire
That is disappointing Mayor. David Fredette has been an excellent, excellent person for the City and he will be
dearly missed. Remarks? Alderman Dowd?
Alderman Dowd
Yes | am very sorry to hear that David is going to retire although he certainly deserves it. But he has probably
single handedly saved the City more money than we could ever count. | have known David for many, many,
many years back when we worked together at Sanders Associates and then on the Board of Aldermen, the
Lion’s Club. | have worked very closely with David on a number of bonding issues over the years and have
learned a lot from David on the bonding process probably more than | ever wanted to know. And he is going to
be extremely hard to replace. And that will be a very difficult position to fill so | hope we are very diligent in
finding that replacement.
Alderman Caron
Yes thank you. | too am said to see Treasurer Fredette retiring but he has dedicated, as the Mayor said, a lot
of his time. | have sat on the Board of Directors for the Senior Center for the last 4 years with David. He has
really helped move the Center along, made adjustments, made changes, helped us raise money, worked with
the financial part of that. David has donated a lot of time so a lot of times I’d be calling to try to get information
and David would be here in the office on Saturdays and Sundays. So when he puts his mind to it he gives
110% so Mayor, you do have some big shoes to fill and hopefully David will be able to help you. But on a sad
note too, David Fredette also had a loss in the last week or so, his brother passed away. So | would like to
send out condolences to him and the rest of his family in the passing of his older brother Michael. Thank you.
