The city of Grand Rapids officially recognized a new mayor on Monday, Jan. 11. Dale Christy, who previously served as councilor, was elected the cityâs mayor in November. He is taking the office after Dale âSpudâ Adams decided to step down and run for a city councilor position instead. The people elected both Adams and incumbent Councilor Tasha Connelly to the council. The three were sworn into their offices on Monday during the councilâs annual organizational meeting.Â
During the Jan. 11 meeting, the council adopted council bylaws which set council meetings on the second and fourth Monday of each month at 5 p.m. at City Hall. The mayor shall preside at all meetings of the council. However, in the absence of the mayor, the mayor pro-tem shall preside. On Monday, the council appointed Councilor Michelle Toven as mayor pro-tem.Â
