Mayor's Message
Mayor Pro Tem Red Byboth read a message from Mayor Eric Hogue explaining that Mayor Hogue,
WEDC Executive Director Sam Satterwhite, and City Manager Mindy Manson were out of town on city
business. A copy of the message read is below.
To the City Council, the staff and the citizens,
I would like to thank all of you for coming out tonight for the canvassing of the May 9th election, and to
witness the oath of office of Councilman Red Byboth and our newest council member, Bennie Jones.
I want to congratulate Councilman Byboth on being re-elected to his council seat, and congratulate and
welcome Councilman Jones to our team. I want to also commend Gilbert Tamez for his willingness to
step up and run for an elected office. Those months, weeks and days before the election is a roller
coaster ride and they should all be thanked for their willingness to serve our city.
Unfortunately, the City Manager, the Economic Development Director and I can not be here tonight, due
to city business. We are attending the International Council of Shopping Centers Conference. We are
meeting with retailers, restaurants and other commercial developments who are interested in coming to
Wylie.
And now the campaigning and the election is over and it's time for us to get to work on serving this great
city. We were elected by our peers to represent them as we help Wylie have even a brighter future.
Again, congratulations to Red and Bennie on their successful election and re-election to our city council.
Eric Hogue
Mayor
