The Junction City Commission voted 5-0 Tuesday night to elect Mick McCallister to a second consecutive term as mayor.  He will serve a nine-month term until the City Commission’s first meeting in January.

Normally the mayor serves a one year term in that capacity, but the move to nine months became necessary to accomodate the future change of city elections in Kansas from April in the spring to November in the fall.

“We’ve started some things in the last year that we’ll be able to follow through on. I’ve really enjoyed my time as mayor. There’s a lot of things that a person gets to go to. I’ve been very pleased to represent the City for the past year, and this next nine months will be no different.”

Commissioner Phyllis Fitzgerald has been elected vice-mayor for the next nine months.
