Gardner City Council names Mark Baldwin council president, Casey Deaton vice president
Summary
In a brief Gardner City Council meeting, members approved the consent agenda and elected Mark Baldwin as council president and Casey Deaton as vice president by voice vote; the meeting included staff appreciations and an announcement about rescheduling a community event.
The Gardner City Council met in a short session in Gardner, Kansas, and elected Mark Baldwin as council president and Casey Deaton as vice president, the mayor announced.
The mayor opened the meeting and led the Pledge of Allegiance, saying, “We have a very short agenda tonight.” After routine public-comment instructions and a voice vote to approve the consent agenda, council took up new business and leadership nominations.
Council members nominated Mark Baldwin for president; the nomination was seconded and approved by voice vote. Shortly after, a council member nominated Casey Deaton for vice president; that nomination was also seconded and approved by voice vote. The mayor announced both results and congratulated the newly chosen officers.
Beyond the votes, council members used their time to thank public-works crews for recent snow clearing and road work, welcomed a newly seated member identified as Kelly, and thanked longtime staff member Steve Shoop for 12 years of service. The mayor said city staff are working to reschedule the "Chris in the Park" event and hoped to hold it the following Monday pending final arrangements.
The meeting concluded shortly after those remarks with a motion to adjourn, which passed by voice vote.
