BLAINE SET TO RE-NAME PARK AT CITY HALL FOR OUTGOING MAYOR RYAN

(BLAINE) – It will be the end of an era on the Blaine City Council when a new mayor is seated in January. After 34 years, Mayor Tom Ryan is not running for re-election. But plans are in the works to honor his years of service.

A proposal to rename Town Square Park passed the Parks Board and will go to the Blaine City Council where approval is expected. It would be known as Tom Ryan Park.  That includes the Veterans Memorial area.  The Mayor says that while he is not running again, he’s not going anywhere and will continue to work on behalf of veterans and seniors.  Those are two groups that are close to his heart.

Ryan was first elected to the Blaine City Council in 1987.  He has served as mayor since 1997.  Ryan told the council his original plan was to serve for just two years.  It turned into more than 30 years as Ryan saw the city through a huge growth period.

Longtime Council Member Dick Swanson is also leaving at the end of the term.  Between him and Mayor Ryan, there’s more than 50 years of experience in city leadership.
