New Mayor Mark Fankhauser

The Cedar Springs City Council voted in a new mayor and mayor pro-tem at their annual reorganization meeting last Thursday night, November 14.

Serving as Mayor for 2013-2014 will be Mark Fankhauser, and Mayor Pro-Tem will be Patricia Troost. Fankhauser was approved 5-2, and Troost 7-0. Former Mayor Bob Truesdale was the other nominee for Mayor. There was no public discussion on who should be nominated, and only one nominee for mayor pro-tem.

Fankhauser was appointed to the City Council a year ago to replace Neil Gomez, who was moving out of the city limits.

The Council also swore in new city council members Dan Clark and Jerry Hall.
