2020 Mayor’s Impact Award

Fire Chief Josh Woods received the 2020 Mayor’s Impact Award, one given by the Mayor each year to an individual who has made a definite impact on our community, at the September 22, 2020 City Council meeting.

In addition to Fire Chief, he serves as the Building Inspector, Fire Investigator/Marshall, Code Enforcement Officer, and as a Part-Time 2 Police Officer for Mayflower, plus a myriad of professional and personal accomplishments.  Mayor Holland presented a plaque, along with, a memory book containing letters from family members and former co-workers. 

City Clerk, Barbara Mathes, stated, “I would be remiss not to acknowledge some others—your wife Dena.  Thank you for your love and support of this man, and also to your children, Keeton and Kenzie. Thank you for sharing your dad with us.  I know it’s not easy when a meal or a family function gets interrupted, or you are awakened in the middle of the night when Josh gets the call.  Just know you are appreciated also.” 

Thank you, Chief Woods!

This is an unprecedented time, especially for Mayflower.  We’ve been through many challenges, but this time we are dealing with Covid-19, a virus that not only affects our city, but reaches far beyond our borders. 

I encourage all of us to take the necessary steps to keep ourselves, our families and our neighbors safe by doing all we can as individuals to limit the spread of this virus. 

Thank you for your cooperation, your understanding and your sacrifices during this time. 

Mayor Randy Holland
