In the warm glow of the Caldwell City Hall, a sense of community and celebration filled the air as the city council gathered for a significant evening. The atmosphere was charged with pride and gratitude as the council recognized the dedication of local firefighters and welcomed a new city clerk into the fold.
The evening began with heartfelt acknowledgments of the Caldwell Fire Department, particularly honoring Engineer Sterling, who has dedicated nearly three years to the Caldwell Fire and boasts a remarkable 17 years of service. Surrounded by family, including his son Granite, who is learning the art of fishing, Sterling's promotion was a moment of joy not just for him but for all in attendance. The ceremony highlighted the importance of family support in the lives of those who serve the community, with Sterling's loved ones proudly present to witness the occasion.
As the ceremony progressed, Chief Daniels and Captain Rosen expressed their deep appreciation for the selfless service of firefighters and police officers. Their words resonated with the audience, emphasizing the often unnoticed sacrifices made by these individuals to ensure the safety of Caldwell's residents. The council members echoed this sentiment, reinforcing the community's gratitude for the dedication shown by first responders.
The evening also marked a pivotal moment for the city administration with the swearing-in of Christina Buchanan as the new city clerk. Following the retirement of long-serving clerk Debbie Geyer, Buchanan, who has been serving as deputy clerk, took her oath of office in front of family members watching online. Her commitment to upholding the laws and ordinances of Caldwell was met with enthusiastic applause, signaling a new chapter for the city’s administrative team.
As the meeting drew to a close, the council encouraged attendees to mingle and connect, fostering a sense of family within the community. The presence of children and families added to the warmth of the gathering, reminding everyone that the support for those who serve extends beyond the hall and into the homes of Caldwell.
