Jana Semeniuk, The Lamont Leader
The County of Lamont has a new reeve and deputy reeve after the Oct. 28 organizational meeting following the Oct. 20 election.
Two new councillors were elected this term, Division 1 councillor Gerald Thorowsky and Division 3 councillor John Uganecz. They joined incumbents Division 2 councillor Aaron Wick, Division 4 councillor Roy Anaka and Division 5 councillor Neil Woitas.
The first order of business at the council’s organizational meeting was to elect the reeve and deputy reeve for the year.
Councillor Anaka nominated Councillor Wick for reeve, while Councillor Uganecz nominated Councillor Woitas. A secret ballot was called where three votes were counted for Wick and two votes counted for Woitas, making Councillor Wick the new reeve of Lamont County.
When nominations were called for Deputy Reeve, Wick nominated Woitas who accepted the nomination. There were no challengers, making Woitas the Deputy Reeve by acclamation.
