Phoenix City Council members on Wednesday bid farewell to outgoing City Manager Jeff Barton, who earned unanimous praise from the council.
“If you ever wanted a model of someone who stood tall and did the right things for the right reasons, it’s Jeff Barton,” Councilmember Kevin Robinson said during Wednesday’s council meeting.
Barton’s last day will be Friday, Nov. 14, but this was his last time appearing at a council meeting.
