It only took nine write-in ballots, but it was enough to become a new representative on the city’s Board of Aldermen.
Ashland’s Richard Sullivan became the new Ward Two alderman as he took the oath of office along with those retaining their seats: Gene Rhorer as Mayor, Leslie Martin and Danny Clay representing Ward One and Rick Lewis representing Ward Three.
Martin will be serving a one year term, fullfilling the rest of the late George Campbell’s term.
None of the incumbents were were challenged for office and there was no candidate on the ballot for Jim Fasciotti’s seat.
Before seating the new group of aldermen, Mayor Gene Rhorer finished the last bit of business for the past fiscal year, including:
• The board approved Ernie Wren as a member of the Parks and Recreation board.
• The aldermen approved Lyn Woolford in the dual role of police chief and city administrator.
• The aldermen approved Jeff Kays as city attorney and prosecutor, Darla Sapp as city clerk, Alderman Jeff Sapp as the P&Z liaison and Jesse Bronson as Park Board liaison.
• Rick Lewis was voted to be the Mayor Pro-Tem.
