The meeting room of the Flat Rock Village Council is now the Nick Weedman Assembly Room in honor of the long-serving council member and mayor.

"One of the new council’s first orders of business at its Dec. 12 meeting was the passage of Resolution 243, renaming the Assembly Room in recognition of Nick’s contributions to the Village of Flat Rock over 21 years," Mayor Anne Coletta said.

The council invited Weedman back on Thursday to snip the ribbon on the newly christened council chambers and pose with current council members before the regular council meeting.

Here's the resolution honoring Weedman:

Whereas the Village of Flat Rock has relied on dedicated volunteers to provide governance since its incorporation in 1995, and

Whereas Nick Weedman has served twenty-one years in Flat Rock to support and lead the government of Flat Rock, and

Whereas this service has included all the roles of our municipal government, including five years as a Council Member, eleven years as Vice Mayor, and five years as Mayor; and

Whereas in addition to these positions Nick Weedman used his extensive corporate and financial expertise in the position of this municipality’s Finance Officer,

Therefore, the Flat Rock Village Council does hereby name this Assembly Room the Nick Weedman Assembly Room in appreciation of his many years of service, his dedication to the Village of Flat Rock and its citizens, and his commitment to good governance and fiscal responsibility.
