Green River Mayor Pat Brady has resigned after 10 years as the Green River mayor. His family will be relocating to Sitka, Alaska so he resigned as mayor. He was given a plaque from Green River City as a thank you for his years of service. The award was presented by Conae Black, city treasurer.
Black also did the swearing in for the new mayor Travis Bacon.
Bacon and Jeff Newland were the two applicants for the mayor’s position. The council members held interviews with the two candidates and then the voting took place. Kathy Ryan and Penney Riches cast their votes for Travis Bacon and Mr. Silliman and Gary Riches cast their votes for Jeff Newland. This created a tie which was decided by the flip of a coin which Bacon won. Bacon is a current councilman and with him moving into the mayor’s position, this will leave a vacancy on the council. This position will be advertised and applicants taken. Bacon went on to conduct the council meeting and also hosted a public hearing on the community reinvestment agency which was approved as well as two maps including a Main Street section and an industrial section.
