Mayor Kasenberg's Inaugural Address

Posted Date Tuesday, November 22, 2022

Below is a copy of Mayor Todd Kasenberg's inaugural address as presented at the Inaugural Council Meeeting on Monday, November 21, 2022. 

 

To colleagues, family, friends, staff, media and our community. Welcome.

Awesome sauce.

Yes, that’s right, I said awesome sauce.

I first heard this expression from one of my sons a few years back. To this day, I’m not sure if that was an invention by him of some newfangled expression that, for my generation, was expressed...

What Does A Mayor Do?

Posted Date Thursday, August 12, 2021

I have had some cause to consider sharing what a mayor does of late. Here are the big things that are on a mayor`s plate:

  1. Serve as referee of Council, including preparing well for a meeting, running/facilitating a meeting, and making sure what happens after a meeting meets with Council's wishes. (And participate on a range of Council's committees and boards, at the will of Council.)
  2. Seek counsel and advice from our community, encouraging openness, transparency, and best ideas for...

COVID-19 Update from the Mayor - April 27, 2020

Posted Date Monday, April 27, 2020

Welcome to another Mayor’s Blog update on COVID-19 operations. Like many bloggers – I get a bit sporadic with my posts, and I have taken to video for some of my updates to the community since my last posting.

That does not betray a lack of action! Since my last post, many things have come to our attention and have been or are being handled. More and more of my work happens from my home office, which has delighted me with views of very busy birds and squirrels in the...

COVID-19 Update from the Mayor - April 1, 2020

Posted Date Wednesday, April 01, 2020

Welcome to another Mayor’s Blog update on COVID-19 operations.

Since my last post, things have been busy. I’ve made some efforts to work at home, with increasing success! Here goes my update today:

  • I declared a State of Emergency to exist in the Municipality of North Perth as of Thursday, March 26 at 1:30 pm. As explained in the Media Release, this provides me, as head of council, with a few additional direct powers that do not require Council’s consent. I intend...
