Council re‑nominates Gary Bowen as mayor; Steve Zeman retains vice‑mayor slot
Summary
On May 15, 2025 the Medford City Council voted to re‑nominate Gary Bowen as mayor and to keep Steve Zeman as vice‑mayor; both nominations passed in recorded roll‑call votes.
Steve Zeman moved to nominate Gary Bowen to remain as mayor and Shari England seconded; the motion carried with Mandy Sinor, Debbie Kretchmar, Steve Zeman and Shari England voting yes and Bowen recorded as a No Vote on his own nomination. The council then proceeded with a reciprocal motion: Bowen moved to nominate Zeman to remain vice‑mayor, seconded by England, and that motion similarly carried.
The nominations were recorded in the minutes as formal motions and carried by roll call. The action leaves the council leadership unchanged for the near term as the body proceeds with its regular and associated authority meetings.
