Mineral Springs Appoints Mayor

Mineral Springs City Council met in a special called meeting Tuesday evening. The council met with the newly approved Recorder position being filled by Kathy Jones. Beginning the meeting council member Vera Marks stepped up to preside over the council due to the lack of mayor for the city of Mineral Springs. Discussion concerning this topic was lengthy and genuinely considered before council members unanimously agreed to appoint Vera Marks to the position of Mayor. A justice of the peace was brought in and Marks was sworn in during this meeting. Concerning the uncertainty the town has seen in the past few months regarding council meetings Mayor Marks read a quote for those in attendance relating to the future of Mineral Springs…”The butterfly does not look back at the caterpillar in shame, just you should not look back at your past in shame. Your past was part of your own transformation”. Marks said she looks forward to meaningful and structured council meetings in the future.
