CITY OFFICIALS START NEW TERM
Mayor Hickenlooper Begins 2nd Term with Vision of Denver as Model City
- New Clerk and 3 New City Council Members Join Leadership
  
Mayor John Hickenlooper was sworn in for his second term heading a group of 10 other re-elected Council members and the City Auditor. Joining Denver's civic leadership is the first-ever elected City Clerk, and three new City Council members. The highlight of the ceremony, held at the Denver Arts Complex's Buell Theatre, was the Mayor's Inaugural Address setting out the framework for challenging Denver residents to make a commitment to keeping Denver a national model of urban renaissance.

"It’s not a matter of believing that Denver is better than other cities, for nothing is gained by vain pride, but rather an understanding - based upon impressive evidence - that our achievements rank at the top of urban undertakings in this nation," said Hickenlooper.  In order to continue and expand the City's successes, he challenged residents to make a commitment to the common good and tackle the issues the community faces in all of its neighborhoods stating that citizen participation and ongoing investment are necessary.
