Dear neighbors,
Thank you all so much for the opportunity to serve as the 62nd mayor of the city of Los Altos. Service to you has been the honor of a lifetime.
First and foremost, thank you to the residents of Los Altos. You elected me to represent you and you have taught me more than I ever imagined. Chiefly, that I still have much more to learn. Thank you to the city staff. You are bright and dedicated and beautiful people. Thank you to my wonderful colleagues on council. Each of you have shown what it means to lead and to give of yourself in service to your community.
I am immensely grateful to several wonderful institutions too. Thank you, Foothill Community College, the best in the country and a shining example of excellence in Los Altos. Thank you, Los Altos School District, for inviting me into various classrooms to engage with the young people in our community. In a difficult year, I was lucky to be inspired and renewed by our kids and teachers. Thank you to all our school districts for your teamwork on some challenging issues.
Thank you, Los Altos Mountain View Community Foundation. You have been one of the most effective force multipliers. Thank you to the service organizations and clubs in the city, like Rotary and Kiwanis for events like the Pet Parade and Fine Art in the Park that are so woven into the fabric of our community culture.
Thank you, everyone involved with the arts in Los Altos. Whether it’s a play, a mural, a show or a gallery, Los Altos is a place for the arts and I’m thrilled to see the wider region begin to find out.
I have many more to thank.
With deepest gratitude,
Pete Dailey
