Mayor and Council,
At tonight's Council meeting, I will be requesting to add to the agenda a proclamation
declaring June 1 as Steve Pederson Day in the City of Hastings. Steve has been a City employee
with the Engineering Department for over 34 years. He learned last week that he has cancer and
has been told that he has less than 30 days left. His children are planning an event for Steve on
Friday, June 1 at the VFW, and I am asking the Council to adopt the proclamation honoring
Steve for his years of dedicated public service.
