BIXBY, Okla. — Bixby City Council voted to appoint a new mayor, vice mayor, and the Ward 4 council seat at a meeting July 27.
The results:
MAYOR: Bobby Schultz is the new mayor for Bixby, after serving as active mayor and councilor for Ward 5.
WARD 4: Luke Freeman approved as new councilor.
VICE MAYOR: Ken Hirshey, as new vice mayor, served as councilor for Ward 3.
The Bixby City Council was searching for a new council member to fill the Ward 4 seat vacated when former Mayor Brad Girard resigned in May after admitting he mishandled a situation involving City Manager Joey Wiedel's multiple DUI arrests.
