Randolph takes over as Mount Vernon council president

January

The Mount Vernon City Council has a new president. William Randolph, who has been on the council for 13 years, was sworn in as council president during a ceremony Friday evening. He takes over the seat from Loretta Hottinger.

Council presidents are selected by consensus of the board and serve one-year terms. This will be Randolph’s fourth time serving as council president.

Marcus Griffith was also sworn in as a councilman during the Friday program. Griffith has served on the council since March, when he was appointed to the seat to fill a vacancy. He had to run for the seat in the general election in November.

The City Council also named chairpersons to various committees. They include: Yuhanna Edwards as chair of Legislation and Public Works; Loretta Hottinger as chair of Human Resources; Steven Horton as chair of Public Safety and Codes; and Marcus Griffith as chair of Finance and Planning.
