C lerk of C ouncil
C ity of Salem, Virginia
Mayor Foley and Vice Mayor J ohnson presented the proclamation to Mr. Maxwell.
C hair Daulton thanked Mayor Foley and Vice Mayor J ohnson.
Mr. Steve Yost, City Attorney, appeared before the Commission. He noted that he
has not said much about Mr. Maxwell's retirement, and he thinks this is because he
is still working through his anger issues that he is actually leaving the firm. T he
nerve of him to do such a thing to them. He noted that Mr. Maxwell has been such a
great asset for over 38 years of service to all of us, to the C ity of Salem, to the
Planning Commission especially. He thinks back to all the issues we have had and
all the crises, and all the litigation that we faced over this period of time. Bill was
our leader in so much of this especially on the litigation side. In his humble opinion,
the primary reason for our success in the courts of Virginia, were based upon two
things, Bill's work ethic and his considerable legal abilities. He has also been an
asset to their law firm, O PN Law, and some of the partners, colleagues, and staff are
here this evening. Bill has been a trusted and valued counselor to all of them, and
everyone will attest to that in their firm. And, he can honestly say that he does not
think there is anyone more respected in the Roanoke Valley legal community than
Bill Maxwell. Finally, Bill has been a tremendous asset to him personally. He thinks
that Bill and he have gotten along so famously for over 43 years for a lot of reasons
but because he believes they share very similar values and outlooks on life. And
they have the exact same sense of humor, which helps an awful lot. He thanked Mr.
Maxwell for all that he has done and all that he has accomplished for the C ity, the
law firm, and for him personally. For him personally, that is being the best law
partner a guy could ever hope to have. T hey wish him, Rosemary, Elizabeth and
their granddaughters the best in your retirement. He wants him to promise him and
everybody here that he is not going to be a stranger and when we have a contentious
rezoning we can always bring him back out of retirement and lead us once again.
God bless you, my friend.
Mr. Maxwell thanked Mr. Yost for his comments.
C hair Daulton noted that she is going into her 20th year, and she has worked with
Mr. Maxwell as the attorney for the Planning Commission. She noted that she
cannot tell him how much she has valued all of his insight and direction over the
years. She noted she thanks him from the bottom of her heart, and she wishes both
he and his wife the best in the coming years. She hopes that they will see him around
Salem. Mr. Maxwell thanked C hair Daulton for her comments.
Mr. Maxwell noted that he is too taken aback. He thanked everyone for the
reception and the nice things that everyone has said. He did not expect this and is
overwhelmed. He appreciates it so much. Representing the C ity has been an
important facet of his law practice. With regards to the litigation matters, Steve is
being very modest as he was a very strong component of that - it was a team effort
that did all the things mentioned in the proclamation. He is just about the best
partner anyone could ask for. He further thanked everyone for taking the time to put
this together and to pass along their congratulations.
