“Tracy has served the Town of Double Oak and residents with great passion and has worked hard to make the town a better place. It has been an honor to serve with him.”
Former mayors Dick Cook, Bill Wilkinson and Dr. Charles Bimmerle were also on hand to thank Miller for his service.

John Maynor was tapped to fill Donnelly’s open council seat. Janice Pidcock swore Maynor into office.
