MOUNDSVILLE –Â Two familiar faces will be returning to the city council table in 2021, and fond wishes were shared between council members new and old at their recent final meeting of 2020.
At the November election, Randy Chamberlain and Denny Wallace, both council members in decades past, were called upon to return by voters, defeating incumbents Phil Remke and Brianna Hickman. Chamberlain spoke briefly during public comment at the council’s last meeting, thanking both Remke and Hickman for their service to the city and its citizens.
“They have done an outstanding job, they’ve been very dedicated, committed to serving the people on their time of council, and I hope I can do as much for the people as those two have done,” Chamberlain said. Chamberlain, a former three-term councilman in the 1970s and 1980s, said he now hopes to return “older and wiser.”
