Mayor Bach expressed his pleasure that the current Council remained intact and would continue
on the path it started on two years ago. He congratulated Councilmembers Hennessy and
Thompson on their re-election.
Mayor Bach said he had enjoyed being Mayor for the past year and listed some accomplishments
and projects that were "dear to his heart:" 1) settlement of the Connally lawsuit and keeping the
Main Street reconstruction project on track; and 2) Zelinksy Plaza (not yet under construction) in
recognition of the contributions of the Zelinksy family to the Town.
Bach said his legacy would perhaps be recorded as "the mayor who cut the most ribbons," and
listed the opening of Elephant Rock, the new Tiburon Police Station, and Servino's Restaurant.

serve on the Town Council and as Mayor. He said it was a highlight and a privilege, and he
thanked the Council for nominating and electing him. Bach also recognized and thanked the
Town Staff.
Councilmember Hennessy said Mayor Bach had done a great job and it was a "joy" to serve with
him. Councilmembers Thompson and Matthews concurred.
