- Tonight’s City Council meeting included the swearing in of Mayor Tom Taylor, new Aldermen Kristen Wilhelm (3rd District) , Steve Taylor (4th District) and incumbent 6th District alderman Ken Skowronski.
During the citizen comment period after the swearing in, former 4th Distinct alderman Pete Kosovich gave a very touching speech, summing up his past years on the council, the election and a promise in his best TERMINATOR voice “ I’ll be back”.
- The interesting surprise of the night, was that new alderman Steve Taylor, was elected Council President. Steve was nominated for the position by new alderman Kristen Wilhelm. Former Council President Lyle Sohns was also nominated. Alderman Steve Olson was out of town on business but had requested the council wait until the next meeting for the Council President vote. Despite this request the nominations and the vote went ahead, three to two in favor of Steve Taylor for Council President.
I believe the two new council members that were voted in during the April 1st election will make their mark on this council.
There was no WAGGING THE DOG at tonight's meeting or was there?
