Clinton Mayor Tom Edmunds says the role of taking over for a resigned Mayor is nothing new.

It's happened twice in the veteran's time in public service. On the WHOW Morning Show Wednesday, Edmunds told Regional Radio he still doesn't know why former Mayor Roger Cyrulik abruptly resigned last month but this situation is not new to him.

Mayor Edmunds says there are several things the Council will have to tackle coming up and one of those will be the hiring of a City Administrator. He believes that could happen in short order.

In addition to the hiring of a City administrator, Mayor Edmunds indicates they will need to update some city codes but he doesn't believe it needs to be wholesale.

The Mayor also looks forward to the new water tower project getting started however it may not be as imminent as some would hope. He calls on the community to be patient with that project.

The Mayor led what was a rather uneventful meeting Tuesday night, the first meeting since former Mayor Cyrulik had resigned.
