Tom Salm appointed by peers as new mayor of North Liberty
The Press-Citizen reports
The North Liberty City Council has selected one of its own to fill the mayoral seat left by former Mayor Dave Franker.
Councilor Tom Salm unanimously was approved to be the city's new mayor until the term ends in November. Salm, who will be sworn in today, will leave vacant a city council post. Salm abstained from the vote.
"I have the desire to do it, and I know I can do it," Salm said Tuesday at the City Council meeting. "I hope we can get excited and move forward."
Earlier at the meeting councilors voted 4-1, with Matt Bahl opposing, to appoint a mayor rather than handing the decision to voters in a special election.
