(KNZA)--A vacancy has been filled on the Highland City Council.

During their regular meeting last week, the Council approved the appointment of Jesse Marriott to fill the unexpired term of Jerry Twombly.

Twombly was sworn in as mayor last month following the resignation of Scott Sisk.   

Marriott took a seat on the Council after he was sworn in by City Clerk Joann Karn.

The Council then elected Matt Peterson as council president.   Twombly had served as council president.
