The first order of business for council was a proclamation honoring assistant treasurer/recorder, Maggie Hunt. For the second time in nearly as many years, Ms. Hunt has been called on to temporarily fill the treasurer/recorder position after the elected official resigned.

Mayor Tony Aikens read the proclamation aloud. In part the proclamation stated in part, "Whereas, Maggie has dedicated herself in hard work for the citizens of Lenoir City, she has served, without hesitation, as City Recorder Pro-tempore on two separate occasions." The proclamation declared Tuesday, January 11th, Maggie Hunt Day in Lenoir City.

Ms. Hunt has been receiving treatment for a medical condition for several months but has continued to work even when at times she may not have felt up to it. After the reading of the proclamation and applause from the council and audience, Ms. Hunt stated that she has been glad to help but jokingly stated that she would prefer not to have to "fill in" a third time.
