New Plymouth City Council members sworn in

The January 19 edition of the Sun Sailor features an article on the "Plymouth City Council, as four council members were sworn into office" at the January 10th council meeting.

"The new year begins with recently elected members Clark Gregor, Julie Peterson, and Julie Pointner starting their terms, as well as re-elected Mayor Jeff Wosje being sworn in to continue serving in another term."

Gregor was elected to an At-Large seat receiving 42.22% of the vote against two challengers. Gregor has stated his main priorities in office will include “an approach to redevelopment and public safety that will ensure a welcoming community for residents and businesses”. Maintaining infrastructure and “fiscal responsibility”, as well as environmental protection, have also been key issues for him.

"In addition to taking the oath of office," the article goes on to state that, "many council members were appointed to various representative roles to other agencies throughout the city. Gregor was appointed as the Environmental Quality Committee, School District 284, Suburban Transit Association (alternate), and Elm Creek Watershed (alternate) representative."
