City government received a partial makeover Tuesday night as councilmembers Rebecka Monez and Erika Phillips, along with treasurer Michael Abram, were sworn in to their four-year posts inside City Hall.

Monez, who represents District 2, won a second term last month by beating retired businessman Milt Trieweiler by a mere 75 votes.

Phillips won the District 4 seat that was vacated by outgoing councilmember Pam Franco, who lost to Abram in the race for city treasurer.

City clerk Nichole Fiez administered the oath of office to the officials, followed by Superior Court Judge Carrie M. Stephens administering the oath of ethics.

“It was great,” said Phillips of her first council meeting. “I feel like I fit in pretty well with everybody else, and I’m looking forward to working with everybody.”

Abram felt similarly, and took pictures with his family — wife Cassandra Abram, the District 3 councilmember, and daughters Hannah, 6, and Lily, 2.

“I’m excited and I’m looking forward to the opportunity,” said Abram. “Everyone that I’ve met so far has been very welcoming, and I’m looking forward to getting to work.”

While saying hello to new officials, the city also said goodbye to Franco and outgoing treasurer Diana Lewis.

“I’ve been very composed until this moment,” said Lewis, who grew emotional when she stepped to the podium. “I want to thank you all so much for your support and your faith over the last 24 years.”

During Lewis’ six terms, she brought in more than $18 million to city coffers in interest investment.

“If you look at that over 24 years, that’s over $750,000 a year in income,” said Lewis, who plans to spend more time with her family, as well as squeezing in some travel. “That’s a pretty good return on our money.”

During Franco’s time on the council, city reserves went from $6 million to more than $20 million in just four years. Additionally, the city passed Measure A, the .75-cent sales tax that generates local funds that cannot be taken by the county, state, or federal governments, and are required to be used in Turlock.

“People of Turlock made the choice to give us Measure A, which made it a lot easier to govern,” said Franco, who thanked city staff, fellow council members and the citizens of District 4. “But what we did with Measure A money is we set it aside — 50 percent for roads. Roads are finally getting done after 30 years and it will be up to the new council to continue that wonderful program.”

During Franco’s single term, more than 27 miles of roads were refurbished.
