"I appreciate the support of all the people who took the time to go out in vote, and I'm dedicating myself to three more years of working for Abilene," he said in a short moment of reflection after totals were known.

Among Archibald's long-term goals is making sure Abilene has sufficient water, not just in the short-term but for the next 50-60 years through the construction of the proposed Cedar Ridge Reservoir.

"We continue to work on the permitting process," he said of the proposed 23,000 acre-foot project, which would be built on the Hendrick Ranch, owned by Hendrick Home for children.

But the thing that looms on the more immediate horizon, he said, is the city's budget. Archibald said the budget is something that will start becoming a priority in the next 45 days or so.

But this year's outlook is much better than it was, he said. Last year, prodigious drops in sales tax revenue created challenges for Archibald and the Abilene City Council.

The city chose to eliminate employee pay raises and required three furlough days for city employees, while examining a variety of ways to reduce expenses, such as possibly shuttering the South Branch of the Abilene library.
