Wellington Mayor Darell Bowen took the oath of office at the Wellington Village Council’s organizational meeting Tuesday, April 13, marking the start of his second term as mayor.
Also taking the oath were new Councilwoman Anne Gerwig, who was elected to term-limited Lizbeth Benacquisto’s seat, and returning Councilman Howard Coates, who won his seat uncontested.
Bowen defeated challenger Carol Coleman in the March 9 election, and Gerwig defeated former village employee Ernie Zimmerman in the March 23 runoff election.
Councilman Matt Willhite was appointed vice mayor, and the council unanimously passed a motion to create the position of “mayor pro tem.” In the absence of the mayor and vice mayor, the mayor pro tem will hold the gavel. The new role was awarded to Councilman Dr. Carmine Priore in honor of his longtime service to the village."
