3 New Members Join Burbank Council
Surrounded by friends, family members and city officials, three newly elected Burbank City Council members were inducted Saturday at a special meeting of the City Council.
The new members--Dave Golonski, Bill Wiggins and Susan Spanos--took their oaths in the council chambers at City Hall.
Elected in last month’s run-off election, the three will replace council members Tom Flavin, Michael Hastings and Tim Murphy. Council members George E. Battey Jr. and Robert R. Bowne remain on the council.
The new council’s first action Saturday was to select a new mayor and vice mayor. Battey was unanimously selected mayor. Wiggins was narrowly approved to replace Battey as vice mayor on a 3-2 vote, with his two fellow inductees dissenting.
Battey also was appointed the delegate to the Los Angeles Division of the League of California Cities.
