Keystone Heights voters maintain mayor’s role on city council
KEYSTONE HEIGHTS – Voters overwhelmingly decided to maintain the practice of electing its mayor on Municipal Super Tuesday.
While other municipalities in the county select a mayor from the city and town councils, Keystone Heights will continue to elect four council members and a mayor. The vote to separate elections between councilmembers and the mayor was 107-34.
There were no contested seats on the city council, so the only option voters had was to cast ballots by mail. They were asked to decide on four charter amendments. They approved two and voted no on the other two.
They agreed a majority of the city council is needed to set the maximum purchasing amount for bids. They also agreed to create a procedure in the city charter to censure or reprimand a council member for illegal or serious violations of city policy.
In addition to voting down a plan to select the mayor from the city council, voters also decided against a plan that would prohibit city council members from interfering with routine operations by the city manager.
Daniel Matt Johnson won Seat 4 on the city council because he was unopposed.
