A little red-faced and near tears, long-time Murrieta City Council member and Mayor Jonathon Ingram officially left his 2022 mayor’s position Tuesday, Dec. 20, in special ceremonies at Murrieta City Hall and council chambers.“I am proud to call you my friends and family,” Ingram said looking at the council chamber filled with dozens of colleagues, residents, family and many, many friends that evening. “Thank you for letting me serve this community. It has been a pleasure serving you.”As he left his mayor’s seat for the last time, Ingram said jokingly, “I’m outta here,”He said he wanted those to remember him, especially “for having the shortest 21-minute meetings,” that he often conducted.
