On April 15, Greenfield Council President Phil Clyburn met with The Highland County Press and encouraged voters to maintain support for the city manager form of government. Clyburn said as he understands it, if the village returns to a mayoral form of government, voters will have to elect a new mayor, city auditor and law director. Prior to that vote in November, Clyburn said Greenfield would first have a special election to determine its form of government.

Now, armed with new knowledge, we can take what we have learned from that experience and apply it to a new government that will serve us better than anything we have yet seen. It's going to be an exciting year.
