The election for the mayor saw nominations for both Alan Reisman and Jay Connell. After deliberation, Reisman received the majority support, securing the role of mayor with three votes, while Connell garnered two. This leadership shift marks a new chapter for the city commission as Reisman takes on the responsibilities of guiding the commission’s work for the coming year. Following the decision, Connell was nominated and elected as Mayor Pro-Tem.

In addition to the mayoral elections, the meeting featured the appointment of members to various city advisory boards and committees. Notably, the Electric Advisory Board welcomed new members, with Michael Ranken, Bethany Burge, and Amanda McClee filling the roles for unincorporated, small business, and large business representatives, respectively. These appointments are part of the commission’s ongoing efforts to ensure diverse representation and expertise within its advisory structures.

The commission also reviewed and confirmed appointments to several other boards, including the Personnel Committee and the Lake Community Action Agency. These roles are essential for the city’s operational and strategic functions, and the commission members expressed their willingness to continue serving in these capacities.
