Welcome back to our City of the Hills. I'm glad that you are all here and would like to take a moment to introduce myself. I'm Mark Drnek and since you folks left at the end of the fall semester, I have taken the oath of office as Mayor of the city of Oneonta.
I consider each one of you important members of our Oneonta community. I intend to work hard to include you in our strategies to make Oneonta a really great place to live, learn, work, and have fun.
As respected members of our community, I ask that you show the same consideration to the city and your fellow Oneontans by showing kindness and courtesy, observing laws and local ordinances, and getting involved in community organizations and events as often as you can.
I commend you for all of the efforts you have taken to keep one another safe during the pandemic this year. Keep up the good work.
I'm looking forward to working with you this semester and in the years to come during my term. Good luck with your studies, and I'll see you around town soon.
Sincerely,
Mark Drnek
City of Oneonta Mayor
