(KNZA)--The Doniphan County community of Highland has a new mayor.
That follows the resignation of Mayor Scott Sisk during last week’s city council meeting.
Sisk verbally submitted his resignation at the beginning of the meeting, which was effective immediately. He cited personal reasons and said he’s moving out of town. Sisk was elected as mayor in April 2015.
The Council voted to accept his resignation with regrets.
Jerry Twombly, who had served as council president, was then sworn in as mayor.
That leaves a vacancy on the Council. Twombly said anyone interested in being considered for the vacant council position should contact him or City Hall. He said he intends to appoint the new council member at the next regular meeting on February 8th.
