Kristen Stevens and Melissa Fleming were sworn in at the Round Rock City Council Meeting
Last night, at Thursday’s regularly scheduled Council meeting the City Council welcomed Melissa Fleming as the newly elected representative for Place 3, and the Incumbent Place 5 Council Member Kristen Stevens, was sworn in for a second term.
Local residents, friends, family, and City staff also gathered to celebrate with Matt Baker, the Mayor Pro-Tem, the end of his six-years of service to the City.
Praise for departing Mayor Pro-Tem Matt Baker
Fellow council members praised Baker for his humor, volunteerism, leadership on regional planning boards, and dedication. Baker, who announced earlier this year that he would not seek re-election to spend more time with his family, reflected on the opportunity he had to serve the community his family calls home.
“What a dream it’s been,” Baker said. “God led us here, there’s no doubt about it. It’s been a dream come true for our family.”
Kristen Stevens reflected on her past 3 years of service and is excited to serve another term
Stevens, who has served on the City Council since 2021, reflected on the successes of the past three years and expressed her gratitude and excitement to serve another term.
“It was a great three years and I’m ready for another three years to see where this city goes and grows,” she said.
Melissa Fleming is glad to have the opportunity to make a positive impact on the community
Fleming, who defeated Alan Sims for Place 3 with approximately 65.7% of the total votes in the May 4 general election, thanked her friends, family, and community members who shared their stories and experiences with her on the campaign trail.
“When I look at the prior leadership and the things they put in place that we’ve been able to benefit from, the Council, the City…it makes me want to be a part of it and the positive impact that they’re making on this community,” she said.
