First off, let me wish you a very happy holidays, and an early happy new year!
As you might have already heard, I am pleased to announce that I will remain in public service upon my leaving the New Rochelle City Council and will become a New Rochelle City Court Judge. As you can imagine, I am excited to begin this next chapter in my life.
Serving as your council representative has been the most rewarding professional experience I have ever had and I am forever grateful for the trust and cooperative spirit provided by my community over the last nine years. So much has been done, but there is still so much to do; especially regarding the exciting new updates with the $10 million dollar DRI grant, and the Remington Boys and Girls Club redevelopment.
So on my last day on council, I want to say a big thank you to the entire New Rochelle community. It has been wonderful to work with you in my capacity as a councilmember. Yadira Ramos-Herbert who was elected in November will be taking over from here to represent the third district.
It would be my honor and privilege for you to join me on Friday, January 3rd, 2020 at the Bethesda Family Life Center at 71 Lincoln Avenue, at 6 p.m. as I get sworn in as a Judge. While my work may be ending in City Hall, my journey is only beginning right next door at the New Rochelle City Court.
Signing off for the last time as Councilman Rice.
