Whangarei Mayor, Sheryl Mai’s has reappointed fourth-term Councillor Sharon Morgan as Deputy Mayor.
“It is 15 years since Whangarei had the continuity of a second term mayor and deputy mayor,” Mayor Mai says.
“We have already proved a winning team, and I am delighted Sharon has once again agreed to become Deputy Mayor which gives us the opportunity to continue building on the traction, momentum and progress of previous terms of Council.”
Councillor Morgan was first elected to represent her Maungatapere/Mangakahia ward in 2007. She was elected unopposed in the following two elections, and re-elected in the 8 October 2016 election. Mayor Mai is also serving her fourth term on Council, two as a councillor for the Denby ward and now as Mayor for a second consecutive term.
Council is due to be sworn in at a public ceremony in Te Kotahitanga, the Exhibition Hall in Forum North, at 5.30pm on Tuesday 25 October. The ceremony constitutes the first full meeting of Council, which will be adjourned after the swearing in and reconvened in Council Chambers the next day.
