RESOLUTION NO. 47, SERIES OF 1968
A RESOLUTION EXPRESSING THE APPRECIATION AND GRATITUDE
OF THE CITY OF ENGLEWOOD TO JOHN JAMESON.
WHEREAS it has recently been announced that John Jameson,
long-time publisher and editor of "The Englewood Herald," has
decided to transfer his interests in said newspaper: and
WHEREAS due to John Jameson's long and devoted efforts
on behalf of the conununity which his paper served and of the City
of Englewood, in particular, it is appropriate at this time that
the City pause to publicly express its appreciation to him.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO that this Council should, and does
hereby, adopt the following statement of appreciation:
"Since 1956, John Jameson, as editor and publisher of
"The Englewood Herald," has brought to this community not only
an award-winning local newspaper, but an honest, sincere and devoted
effort to achieve civic betterment. In addition to being honored
by members of his own profession by being elected as President
of the Colorado Press Association, he has been active in the
Englewood Chamber of Conunerce and other local civic and service
organizations. He has always worked closely with elected municipal
officials to the end that the people of this community may be
informed of the workings of their local government. Sometimes
this cooperation has resulted in his support of the City's programs:
other times, he has felt compelled to raise the voice of opposition --
but at all times he has approached the workings of municipal govern-
ment with a respect for municipal officials and employees and with
a desire for conununity progress.
This City Council shall miss John Jameson's presence,
as the representative of the ''Fourth Estate," at its meetings, and
the City's residents shall miss his sometimes barbed, but never
equivocable, editorials.
This Council joins with all the members of this community
in saying to John a sincere "Thank You!" and in wishing to him,
and to his family, the best in all their future endeavors."
