Mayor Mark Senter presents Key to the City to Bill Walters.
PLYMOUTH — Bill Walters was presented with the Key to the City by Mayor Mark Senter during the Plymouth meetings Monday evening.
After many years of professional, political and personal dedication to the City of Plymouth and Marshall County, Walters is retiring. “I just appreciate the support I’ve had over the years. It’s been a pleasure being able to serve the City on the Council, the Plan Commission, the Board of Works, and various volunteer organizations I’ve been involved with.”
Walter said it is with mixed emotions that he is leaving Plymouth, but is moving close to his daughter, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. “I’m retiring again. I’ve done this several times. I’m retiring this time and I hope I stay retired this time. Thank you for everything,” he smiled.
Senter read the Proclamation of the City of Plymouth, June 12, 2023.
