City council bids farewell to Lisa Goodman, Andrew Johnson

Posted
Andrew Johnson and Lisa Goodman were honored at a reception in the City Hall rotunda on Thursday, Dec 7.  
 
A meeting earlier that day marked the last Minneapolis City Council meeting of the year and the final meeting of Lisa Goodman’s 26-year career as a council member for Ward 7. Goodman was first elected in 1997, served with four mayors and 49 different council members. She is the longest serving council member in the history of the city. 
Johnson, who was first elected in 2013, ended his 10 years as a Ward 12 Council Member in November when he resigned to take another job following the election. 
 
They also both received honorary resolutions from the mayor and city council “in recognition of their sincere gratitude and appreciation for the many contributions” they made to their wards and to the city.
