The City Council will be led by a familiar face for the next two years.
Councilmen unanimously voted for Curt Alexander to return as Elizabethton mayor for a sixth term during Thursday night’s meeting inside City Hall.
Alexander has served in the role since 2006. Councilman Richard Tester nominated the mayor and the motion was seconded by Bill Carter. No other nominations for mayor were made.
The mayor thanked the city council for their support and added he is looking forward to continue working on projects within the city for the next two years to continue growth and development.
Following the vote for mayor, councilman Jeff Treadway nominated Carter to serve as mayor pro-tem once again and the motion was seconded by Kim Birchfield. The council also unanimously supported the decision with no other nominations on the table.
