He boasts perfect attendance for the past year-and-a-half, according to city records.
He also co-sponsored an ordinance establishing the agricultural commission, which serves as a liaison between agricultural workers and the city government.
“I have enjoyed dealing with people,” said Hagan. “Trying to help out constituents has been the part I enjoyed the most and I would like to continue that.”

For a second term, he said he would like to continue primarily working with constituents and has no concrete plans to tackle particular issues.
“I try to deal with each problem as it comes up in the most common sense way I can,” he said.
