ISLAND CITY â There was a changing of the guard Monday, Dec. 14, in Island City.
David Comfort was sworn in as Island Cityâs new mayor a month earlier than scheduled after Delmer Hanson stepped down. Hanson resigned because he said he wanted to participate in some upcoming family activities, and leaving the post will make that easier for him to do.
Comfort was elected Island Cityâs next mayor in November and was scheduled to be sworn in Jan. 11, 2021, at the Island Cityâs first city council meeting of the new year. Comfort said he was nervous but also delighted to be taking the reins of Island City Monday night.
