The nonpartisan Casper City Council on Tuesday welcomed four new members and one re-elected incumbent who expressed their hopes for the next two years, and said farewell to four others who expressed their thanks for the opportunity to serve. My hope is that on council we may agree and disagree with one another as part of a robust productive decision-making process, new member Amber Pollock said before Mayor Steve Freel administered the oath of office to her and the other council members. Second, is that we will be sensitive to the well-being and prosperity of our community and its citizens in all of our dialogue ., Pollock said. And last that we can work to practice to actively engage in the collective work of building and maintaining the community, a process that is never-ending and requirers civic engagement..
