Statements from Mayor Douglas Joyner
Below you will find public speeches made by the Mayor. Starting with the Inauguration on December 1st, 2010.
Rev. Eleanor Inauguration Speech - December 1, 2010
Doug Joyner – Mayor, Smithville
Commitment is the one quality above all others that enables a leader to become successful leaders.
Leadership is like a running head start for the team. Leaders see farther than their teammates.
They see things more quickly than others.
They know what's going to happen and can anticipate it.
As a result, they get the team moving in the right direction ahead of time and for that reason those they lead are in a position to win.
The greater the challenge, the greater the need for the many advantages that leadership provides.

Mayor Joyner Inaugural Speech - December 1, 2010
Members of Council – Distinguished Guests, Clergy Friends & Family
It is a unique and distinct pleasure to welcome you to the West Lincoln Council Chambers for the 2010 Inaugural Ceremony.
As I stand before you all I am mindful of the history of Smithville since becoming a Corporation in 1970 – and of all the past Mayors who have been through this very ceremony – how similar yet different their goals and aspirations would have been.
I am inspired by the vision of what our community can be during this term of office. A healthy community - One that is balanced with economic growth – Appropriate and affordable recreational facilities - Prosperous agricultural enterprises & Environmental stewardship.
The citizens of West Lincoln have spoken and selected TEAM WEST LINCOLN, better known as the Council & Mayor for the term 2010 to 2014.
