terminating on September 1, 1918, this City has endured with the
greatest possible liptus maxzmus rigorious (translation stiff
upper lip) the manipulations, machinations, maneuverings, mumblings,
and macho malapropisms of Mr March, and
WHEREAS, on rare occasion it has been suggested by various and
sundry nefarious and ill-advised persons of unspeakable and unsavory
character that Mr March has actually sought to influence and other-
wise direct the affairs of this most august body (although it should
be noted this "suggestion" is not given much credence) , and
WHEREAS, to the complete and utter disbelief of all, it has even
been intimated Mr. March may not be totally competent to handle both
sides of every issue, and
WHEREAS, it has been rumored Mr March's departure from the
City will afford him an opportunity to (a) become reacquainted with
his partners and associates, (b) find his office, and (c) clean
his office
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
FORT COLLINS as follows
1. That the City formally express its sentiment at Mr March 's
departure as City Attorney
"BYE"
(How's that for "off the cuff">)
2 That the City formally express its sentiment at Mr. March 's
appointment as Special Counsel.
"OH, GOD' "
