Editor's Note:  Dave Lott deserves much praise and recognition for his four and half month tenure with the City of Fernandina Beach.  He brought to the position years of business experience and years of experience as a volunteer on  city boards.

Dave wisely spent most of his time as interim focusing on the city budget.  During last Monday's budget workshop, Dave's  presentation was impressive and it presented a clear picture of the many challenges our city will face during the upcoming budget discussions. 

Well done Dave!  We thank you  for your outstanding service to our community.
