CERTIFICATE OF RIDDANCE AND CONDEMNATION
PRESENTED TO
DAVID MICHAEL FLORY
WHEREAS, David M. Flory began his assault on his community when elected to the City Council, beginning his first term on April 19, 1988; and was re-elected to Council on April 21, 1992, and again on April 9, 1996; and just wouldn’t go away; and then
WHEREAS, Dave began his first term as Mayor on March 19, 2002; and,
WHEREAS, Dave worked with the best Mayor in Woodland’s history from 2004 to 2006, the community, reluctantly, came to terms that Dave would begin his second term as Mayor on March 7, 2006; and,
WHEREAS, the good news is that Dave will be followed by an even better Mayor in 2008; and
WHEREAS, God has shown his mercy, as Dave shalt not run for a sixth term as a Woodland City Council Member; and,
WHEREAS, Dave has been a member either personally, professionally, spiritually, or by lingering smell on extensive Boards, Committees, and Commissions, blah, blah, blah, and countless other resume inflating endeavors; and,
WHEREAS, Dave’s intense interest in the Woodland Downtown has been evident in the closure of his own business, Flory Jewelers; with infrastructure enhancements, such as backward facing benches on Main Street; and in his role as Honorary Mayor, wearing that stupid top hat that just about everyone hates, to many downtown events, embarrassing himself beyond belief, and annoying the entire community; and,
WHEREAS, in addition to his duties as a Member of the City Council and owning and operating his own business, Dave raised his two children, Mindy Flory Dodge and David Flory (who now have to deal with him full-time), and who enjoys immensely his grandson, Riley Dodge, who tries unsuccessfully to keep his grandfather out of trouble.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Yolo County Third District Office, past, present and future, and the citizens of this community thank God, and commend David Michael Flory for retiring from political office, wishing him well in all his future, personal, and professional endeavors. Woodland is truly a better community through the departure of Dave Flory. Bu-bye.
Issued this 24th day of June, 2008.
