Morro Bay in his heart; she thanked him and appreciates all he has done. She went to say what a
wonderful Councilmember Nancy Johnson was; she was also a member of the Planning
Commission, Public Works Advisory Board and many, many committees.
Keith Taylor thanked both George Leage and Nancy Johnson for their unwavering support of the
Fire Department over the years. He knows they don’t do it for publicity or pats on the back; they
just do it because it’s right. He wishes the new Council nothing but success.
