played a unique role in that process," said Sinanyan referring to
his fellow City Council members.

two months. Thank you for your mentorship and support during these
12 months. Councilmember Weaver, I thank you for your leadership in
the last 12 months and look forward to working with you in the future.

our votes have seldom aligned on issues, but I look forward to
ever-increasing cooperation on all issues that concern Glendale.
Councilmember Friedman, thank you for calling in and expressing your
support for my candidacy. I think you and I have voted along the same
lines on many issues and I look forward to working together for the
betterment of our city," added Sinanyan.
He pledged that he will work will all residents and groups in the city
to ensure the ongoing projects advance to make the city of Glendale
and better place for its residents.
"We shall do everything to ensure that all parts of Glendale, from far
North, to South, East to West, homeowners and renters, big businesses
and mom and pop shops are increasingly engaged in and well informed
about the developments in the City, and that their opinions and needs
are heard loud and clear," said Sinanyan.
He also pledged to make city government more transparent proposing
to translate city-produced materials in Armenain, Korean, Spanish
and Tagalog to increase access to a broader base of Glendale residents.
