The Town of Carrot River has officially hired a new town administrator, after their former administrator, Brennan Hall, had resigned from the position.
At a special meeting of Carrot River Town Council held on Nov. 29, council accepted the resignation of administrator Brennan Hall with his last office.
The Town of Carrot River has elected their new mayor.
Roman Charko defeated Dylan Borody in the by-election held on Wednesday, May 12 by a vote of 171-127.
“It’s a great honour to receive that phone call,” Charko told
northeastNOW. “And the people having the confidence in me doing the job.”
Wednesday’s by-election was held as former Mayor Dennis Letendre stepped down earlier this year after being elected in November. Charko said he hopes to bring some stability to the mayor’s chair, something he thinks the citizens are looking for.
“We’ve had a few by-elections in town, that’s a concern of the citizens,” he said. “There’s been some staff changes, that’s a concern to the citizens.”
Carrot River residents will soon be heading to the polls to elect their next mayor.
The position opened up when Dennis Letendre resigned in March due to health concerns.
Roman Charko and Dylan Borody have submitted nomination papers to fill the position.
The byelection has been scheduled for May 12 from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Carrot River Community Hall.
Advance voting will take place at the town office on April 28 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The elected mayor’s term will run until November 2024.
