City Commission Chooses New Mayor and Vice-Mayor

The City of Toccoa has a new mayor.

At their last regular meeting of 2018, Commissioners elected Gail Fry to serve as the Mayor for the calendar year 2019.

Commissioner Terry Carter will serve as Vice Mayor next year.

After accepting the Mayoral position, Fry performed her first official duty by presenting current Mayor David Austin with a plaque.

“We want to present you with this plaque in honor of your service as Mayor for 2018,” Fry said. “David Austin is a wonderful ambassador for our City.”

The City of Toccoa has traditionally chosen their Mayors from the City Commission rather than holding a public election.

Each mayor serves for one year.
