Mr. Howland will be retiring from the post he has held for the past 10 years. Mr. Howland said he has enjoyed his years of service to the village, including working with the different members of council. He says, "I have gone through a lot of effort to strengthen the internal system. In the process I have worked with some excellent employees and quality council members." Mr. Howland has worked hard to maintain the quality of life in North Palm Beach, as he really cares about its citizens. But not only did Mr. Howland serve the village in an outstanding way, he also got very involved in community service. , He coached a girls' softball team for 8 years and got involved with various civic organizations. A sports enthusiast himself, Mr. Howland hopes to do some coaching after he retires. Some of his other plans include taking an extended vacation. "I think we'll take a vacation, maybe do some skiing out west," he says. The village councilmen have fond memories of Mr. Howland's service. Councilman Jerry Gardner recalls, "When I decided to run for office, he was most helpful in guiding me with ordinances and. other items a newcomer to the council might find complicated." Gardner adds, "Ray Howland was not only an outstanding village manager, he was a good member of the community, ranging from baseball to the chamber of commerce. The village this year is going to be hard -put to do without the '. services of our great village manager and clerk." Village clerk Dolores Walker will also be leaving the village. Other council members will also miss Mr. Howland. Dr. Marks said, "The village of North Palm Beach is losing a great man who has done a wonderful job for the past 10 years. I'm personally very sad to see him go... hell be missed." Tom Valente adds, ""I will personally miss him very much. He has done an excellent job as village manager and in community service as well." Judy Pierman, who said Ray Howland was a very special manager, continents, "North Palm Beach is the greatest place to live under the sun and it's because of people like Ray Howland who have continually made it so. Ray has guided the village and carried out the wishes of its people and his council throughout his 10-year stay. His caring, integrity, and sense of pride in the village has been evidenced throughout his tenure. He will be missed but we thank him for all he's brought to the village and we wish him well in the next chapter of his life." And Mayor Craig Mundt said, "He's done a wonderful job for the village of North Palm Beach. We're Tortunate to have had a village manager of that caliber.
