CAROLYN FLOOD DAY was proclaimed Monday, Sept. 14, 2020, by Kingfisher Mayor Roxie Alexander, left, to honor Flood, center, who retired after decades of service on the planning and zoning commission. Alexander and Vice Mayor Wendell Prim, right, presented Flood with a plaque and proclamation at the city commission meeting Monday night. The proclamation recognizes her service from 2007, including presiding over more than 100 meetings in 11 years as chairperson of the board. Flood pointed out at Monday’s city commission meeting that she served another 10 years or so on the board beginning in the 1990s and then resigned when her late husband Dick Flood was elected mayor.

Austin Evans was appointed to replace her. [TIMES-FREE PRESS Staff Photo]
