(KAIR)--Atchison Mayor Abby Bartlett was voted in for a second year by fellow city commissioners during Monday’s regular meeting, which also included the swearing in of three commissioners for another term.
Bartlett is going into the third year of a four-year term, her second as the mayor. In Atchison the mayor is elected each year by commissioners from among their ranks. The mayor is responsible for setting the agenda, running the meetings and being the public face of the city, but has only one of five commission votes when it comes to setting policy.
Commissioner J. David Farris was elected as vice-mayor.
Commissioners Allen Reavis and Jesse Greenly were sworn into new four-year terms after being the top two vote getters during November’s election. Commissioner Lisa Moody was sworn into a new two-year term, her second consecutive.
