Ed Brzezinski will lead Erie City Council in 2021.
Brzezinski s election as council president, however, brought both tension and debate to the seven-member panel s first meeting of the new year.
Council members chose Brzezinski by a 4-3 vote at the panel s regular meeting on Wednesday morning.
Brzezinski, 74, spent four years on City Council from 1988 to 1992, followed by 12 years on the Erie School Board from 2006 to 2018.
A retired educator, Brzezinski won his current four-year term on City Council in 2019.
Brzezinski told colleagues on Wednesday that he would like to meet with individual council members next week to discuss their goals for 2021 and the various issues facing the city, including finances.
