I would like to thank the Honorable Mayor Hadley for her service to our city. With her leadership skills, she provided a safe and prosperous community. I was taught as a boy scout you should leave an area better than you found it and Mayor Hadley certainly did. Serving the city’s youth, businesses and older adult contingent brought forward, a healthy lifestyle to our growing community. Thank you.

I write to thank Mayor Hadley for her service and to welcome our new mayor Hildy Stern. I am a 26 year resident of Manhattan Beach and have known Hildy for over 25 of those years. I have always found her to be a person of great integrity, intellect and kindness, and a very caring friend one can always count on. I have been disheartened by the tenor of our community’s conversation lately and hope everyone will join me in welcoming her. She is a terrific person and will be an outstanding mayor.
Thank you Mayor Hadley for your service and for repeatedly welcoming and responding to public comments, even though we often do not agree. I also extend a heartfelt welcome and congratulations to incoming Mayor Hildy Stern. You have courageously stood up against divisive and tone deaf rhetoric, often standing alone. I look forward to your calm, compassionate and thoughtful leadership and your continued advocacy for social justice and a welcoming and inclusive Manhattan Beach.
Thank you to Mayor Suzanne Hadley for her excellent work for the City of Manhattan Beach! We were fortunate to have your logic and common sense as Mayor during a very difficult time. I am certain you will continue to serve the City well!
