Craig Elrod will be McDonough’s mayor pro tem again in 2021. He was appointed by a vote of the City Council at its Jan. 4 regular meeting, and it is the second straight year he will serve in that position.
Mayor Billy Copeland stated at the meeting that when he returned to the mayor’s office in 2006, the council decided that the mayor pro tem would serve a two-year term. That has been the practice ever since, and Copeland encouraged the council to continue that practice. Elrod was nominated and no one else was.
The vote passed 6-0 with one abstention.
