Council will select new mayor, council member

By LeAnne Rogers Staff Writer As the winner of the August Democratic primary and hav­ ing no Republican opposition in November, Wayne Mayor A1 Haidous will be moving to the Wayne County Commission at the end of the year. That leaves the mayor’s seat vacant for the one year re­ maining on Hai­ dous’ current two-year term. Based on an FILE PHOTO opinion from Haidous City Attorney Paul Bohn, the council will appoint one of its members to serve as mayor until the posi­ tion is filled in the November 2015 general election. Council would also need to appoint someone to fill the vacant council position created by the mayoral appointment. The new council member would also be appointed to serve until the November 2015 general election.
