Summary
Edgewater council moved up the appointment of a vice mayor and unanimously approved Mike Thomas for the role; residents offered brief public comment in support before the roll call vote.
The Edgewater City Council advanced and approved the appointment of Mike Thomas as vice mayor during its Jan. 6 meeting.
A council member moved to bring the vice-mayor appointment forward and nominated Thomas; another council member seconded the motion. Multiple residents voiced support. The mayor then called for a roll call and the council voted to approve the appointment unanimously.
Resident Mary Forrester, who identified her address as 1937 Edgewater Canal Road, expressed support for the nomination and urged volunteers to help with an 8-unit shelter project she described as serving at-risk families.
