38 Wednesday, July 1, 2015 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon COUNCIL: Hall cites confrontational political climate Continued from page 1 consider normal — for such a post,” Hall told The Nugget in a written statement. “I felt that if I stayed on it would have negatively impacted my health, so I made the decision to remove myself from that situation.” Hall was appointed to replace Council President McKibben Womack, who also cited the stresses of the political climate and the effect on family life in his own resignation last April. “I experienced firsthand what McKibben Womack spoke of when he departed City Hall, and I believe his analysis was spot-on,” Hall stated. “I want to be clear that I do think improvements can and should be made in Sisters. I spent years in indus- try in the field of process and product improvement and feel that those same princi- ples I utilized apply equally well to government. But the approach to those ends needs to be more one of collabora- tion and less one of confron- tation. I am concerned that we will continue to lose good people like Mr. Womack and others from the City Council and from City Hall until the tone of discourse in this town improves.” Hall recommended that the City pursue something like the “Speak Your Peace Civility Project” to improve the tone and level of dis- course in Sisters. The full text of Hall’s statement may be found with the online version of this story at www.nuggetnews. com. Hall, a retired chemi- cal engineer and proj- ect manager, had served recently as the chair of the City’s Community Assets Committee. “I will continue working for Sisters Country in such activities as economic devel- opment and the budget com- mittee as well as any others where I may be of use,” Hall said. He closed his statement urging appreciation for the work of Sisters’ volunteer public servants and paid staff: “I would encourage folks, when they see a member of City Council or an employee of City Hall, to thank them for their service and loyalty to this town; in my estima- tion, they have earned it.” The City Council is cur- rently taking applications for candidates interested in the open position. Interested parties may submit an appli- cation to City Recorder Kathy Nelson by July 10. Candidates must be a quali- fied elector within the mean- ing of the state constitution and have resided within city limits during the preceding 12 months.
