As Forest Park said goodbye to a councilman Monday, Glendale council welcomed a new member.
Forest Park First Vice Mayor Joseph Mallory ended his one-term tenure Monday night, nine months before the 1999 elections.
Mr. Mallory, who announced his decision Jan. 19, wants to spend more time with his family.
Monday night's meeting was attended by his father, former Ohio Rep. William Mallory Sr., his brother, state Sen. Mark Mallory, and other family members.
"I'm very proud of Joe Mallory. ... He was taught to be honest, to work hard, to be fair and to be concerned genuinely with his fellow man and woman,” his father said.
“He has exhibited all of these qualities, and that makes me proud.”
Council presented Mr. Mallory with a plaque in recognition of his service to the city.
“This is a fitting end to my service,” he said. “Leaving the community the way I began it — from my heart. I was once told grown men don't cry but growing men do, and I'm still growing.”
Councilwoman Stephanie Summerow Dumas said Mr. Mallory was a motivator for the city of Forest Park.
“I will miss you. You added such a flavor to this council. I always knew you would keep us motivated. Please continue to work to keep us moving,” she said.
Council will conduct individual interviews during a special Feb. 22 council meeting. A successor will be announced during the meeting.
In Glendale, Deborah Grueninger began her first week as a councilwoman, filling the seat vacated when Vice Mayor Thomas Todd was appointed mayor.
Mrs. Grueninger, co-owner of an interior decorating firm, was chosen Thursday to fill the vacant seat.
She has worked with the village's business community and is a three-time past president of Glendale's Chamber of Commerce.
She said she is interested in finding ways to improve Glendale's aging sewer system.
