Many of the outgoing council members had served for at least two four-year terms.
Only two of the current members, Vice Chairman Mike Shockley and Councilwoman Jennifer Wheeler, won their elections and will be returning next year.
Council Chairman Mark Bates has served on the council since 2008 and was recognized by the mayor Monday night for his years of service, including nine of those 12 years where he served as chairman.
âTo my constituents, thank you for the honor to serve you the last 12 years,â Bates said. âItâs been my honor to sit here and represent you. And to my colleagues . thank you for your trust in me to lead the body and to do the business of the people, as I like to say. We do it together and weâve always done it together and weâve worked as a team.â
