In the State of the City address Tuesday, Mayor Richard Kopczick highlighted Morris' numerous accomplishments in the last fiscal year, ranging from newly annexed property to the promises kept to citizens.

"When we look back on the numerous projects that the city has completed, sometimes the history of how we arrived here today is often forgotten," Kopczick said during his address. "The hard work, tenacity and dedication necessary to plan for a major project and then see it through to completion is a long and arduous process."

Tuesday was May 1, the first day of the city's new fiscal year. So the last council meeting of the 2011-12 fiscal year was held Tuesday morning, and it was followed by the first council meeting of fiscal year 2012-13.
