Houghton City Council members wrapped up last night’s meeting – and this term – by saluting Rachel Lankton, who is retiring after 16 years on the board.
Mayor Robert Backon read a proclamation that also mentioned Lankton’s service on the Portage Lake District Library Board, the Planning Commission, the Zoning Board of Appeals, and the Carnegie Museum of the Keweenaw Board, along with her efforts to help build the current library, and purchase the old library for use as the Carnegie Museum…
Lankton’s daughter, Laura Kloss, also saluted her mom…
Lankton, in turn, thanked former city manager Scott MacInnes, current manager Eric Waara, and fellow council members…
Her departure means that at least one new member will join the council after next week’s election.
