In a special meeting Monday, the City Council voted to name Ward 2 Councilor Terence Murphy acting mayor, a role he will fill until a new mayor is elected in November.

McGee said he could only serve as acting mayor on a temporary basis because of a potential conflict of interest with his employer, MassMutual.
