New Mayor to Be Named at Thursday Council Meeting

Thursday's meeting of the Capitola City Council is set to be full of goodbyes, including the retirement of two long-time city staff members, as well as the end of Dennis Norton's tenure as mayor. 

The complete agenda can be viewed here.

The expected highlights of the meeting are as follows:

• Mayor Dennis Norton will make proclamations of retirement honoring City Clerk Pam Greeninger, who served 37 years, and Maintenance Superintendent Ed Morrison, who was with the city for 32 years.
• A public hearing led by the Community Development Department will be held to discuss the 41st Avenue/Capitola Mall Re-Visioning Plan. Included in the plan are a remodel of the 41st Avenue side of the mall, a landmark building at the corner of Capitola Road and 41st Avenue and improved sidewalks and bike paths.
• The council will select a new mayor and vice mayor. Outgoing Mayor Norton will be honored with a presentation, followed by his outgoing words.
• The newly-chosen mayor, likely current Vice Mayor Michael Termini, will bring the meeting to a close with his comments.
