“I look forward to returning to my duties as Mayor,” explained Mayor Alar Soever. “I understand and respect my health needs, and would like to assure residents that I am feeling well and ready to assume my duties subject to the advice of my doctor. I will be working collaboratively with the Council and the Town’s Senior Management Team to deal with the effect of the COVID-19 crisis on our residents.
