Show MARRIOTT-SLATERVILLE CITY HISTORY APRIL 2001 A dry winter has wended its way into a dry spring. April, normally one of the wettest months of the year, disappointed us with minute amounts of rainfall. Throughout the state concern is being voiced over possible water shortages during the summer. Big changes in the City staff occurred this month. After long service in helping our communities gain township status, later helping our city incorporate, and having served as administrator for the City since 1999, Duncan Murray has left us. He will pursue another career in Investment and financing. A formal resolution of the City Council commending him for his service was issued. William Morris was asked by Mayor Keith Butler to fill the position of Administrator and to work with the justice court also, and he has taken over those duties.
