The newest member of the City Council in Bridge City was sworn in Tuesday evening. Kevin Mott was appointed last month to fill the Place 1 seat on the council which became vacant when David Rutledge was elected mayor of Bridge City. Mott returns to a familiar seat on the City Council. Previously term limits forced Mott not to seek reelection as the Place 1 Alderman after nine years on the City Council. He said, “It just feels good to be back.”
Kirk Roccaforte received a plaque as a tribute for his years of service as mayor. Roccaforte currently serves on the council in Place 2 and as Mayor Pro Temp. Outgoing council members Mike Reed and Danny Cole received their plaques at their last council meeting in May.
Tammi Fisette and Terri Gauthier volunteered and were approved by the council to serve on the City Collective Bargaining Committee to handle contract negotiations with the Bridge City Police Association. Eric Andrus will serve as an alternate on the committee. Other committee members are City Manager Jerry Jones, Police Chief Paul Davis, City Attorney Paul Fukuda, and Mayor David Rutledge.
