At the Firestone Candidate’s Forum on March 21, 2012, Mayor Chad Auer discussed the accomplishments that he and the Board of Trustees have gained throughout the past four years he has served. “We have a compelling story in Firestone, and one with a great vision for our future,” said Auer, who is seeking his third two-year term as mayor. “What we’ve been able to accomplish is to work collaboratively with the community.” Candidates Paul Sorensen, Matt Holcomb and George Heath, who are seeking election for the three trustee positions, echoed Auer’s thoughts.
