Golden Valley Council Members Take Oath of Office
The city of Golden Valley swore in two council members on Tuesday night. One is returning. Another is new.
Denise La Mere-Anderson is the new council member who took the oath of office. She replaces Larry Fonnest, who chose not to seek re-election. Fonnest was on hand to help install La Mere-Anderson’s name plate and congratulate her.
The returning council member, Gillian Rosenquist, was also sworn in. Rosenquist is serving a second four-year term.
“When I think about everything we’ve gone through, I’m really looking forward to our future,” Rosenquist said during Tuesday’s meeting. “I feel like we have a very clear and positive direction that this city is moving on.”
She mentioned the environment, affordable housing and re-envisioning public safety as topics important to residents.
Rosenquist took her oath remotely due to a COVID case in the family.
