Both Hall and Tracy, the city’s former
director of the Parks and Recreation Department, were elected to the City
Council on Nov. 4, 2003.
Hall, who served as president of the
council in 2003, was first appointed to the panel in May 1998. He was elected to
his first four-year term in November 1999.
While being sworn in by Mayor Ed Simon,
both Hall and Tracy pledged "to faithfully discharge all of the duties of the
office of council member in the city of Ketchum."
Councilman Baird Gourlay nominated Hall as
president.
Tracy and Councilwoman Chris Potters
immediately supported the move. "All I can say is, I think Randy has done an
exceptional job," Potters said.
In beginning their new terms Monday, both
Hall and Tracy were active in pursuing an agenda to make the council more
proactive. The two council members each deliberately presented lists of items
they want to see addressed in the near future.
