Letter to the Editor:
Dear Neighbors,
I want to congratulate Nikki Perez on her successful reelection to Burbank City Council, and Mike Van Gorder and Nolan Southerland on their election to the Council. To all the candidates who ran, your hard work, dedication, and willingness to step forward in service to Burbank did not go unnoticed.
Burbank voters made their voices heard on Election Day, and now it is our responsibility to put aside our differences, find common ground, and work together for the betterment of our entire community.
While we may not always see eye to eye on the issues facing Burbank, I wish each of my colleagues success because their success is ultimately our city’s success.
We have an opportunity and an obligation to come together and get to work on behalf of all Burbank residents.
I also want to recognize and thank outgoing Vice Mayor Zizette Mullins for her leadership, partnership, and decades of public service. Her insights, institutional knowledge and commitment to Burbank have made lasting contributions to our city. My thanks as well to outgoing Mayor Tamala Takahashi for her dedicated service, meaningful contributions, and continued commitment to our community.
Burbank works best when we work together. I look forward to doing my part and continuing to serve the residents of our great city.
Christopher John Rizzotti
Burbank City Council Member
