240 rezonings

Almost 5,000 certificates of appropriateness
Almost 900 Planning Commission meetings, work sessions, and retreats

The proclamation read by Mayor Smith ended with, "Now, therefore, be it resolved that I, John David Smith, Jr., as Mayor of the City of Winchester, along with Common Council, do hereby proclaim Tim Youmans as an outstanding citizen and honorable Planning Director and through this proclamation celebrate his dedication and years of service to the City of Winchester."
