Cave City has a new mayor and his face is familiar to many around the community.
Now-former councilman Jonas Anderson, 34, was elected mayor by a vote of 6-0 by the Cave City Council on Tuesday night during its monthly meeting. He takes the place of Ron Burge, who resigned earlier this month.
Anderson, who was appointed to the council in 2007, works for the Northcentral Arkansas Educational Services Cooperative as a computer tech. He’s a familiar face to many parents, students and school staff around the city.
Anderson was sworn in by Sharp County Justice Of The Peace Jeral Hastings shortly after an hour-long executive session, which also saw Councilman Richard Hawkins interview for the spot. After the executive session, the council voted unanimously to appoint Anderson as mayor. Anderson and Hawkins both abstained from voting.
