A previous version of this article incorrectly stated that Keir Jones was vice mayor and Robert Copeland was mayor. The Signal Tribune regrets this error.
The Signal Hill City Council welcomed its newest member and appointed the new mayor and vice mayor during its meeting on Tuesday.
In the November election, Signal Hill voters re-elected incumbents Lori Woods and Robert Copeland, and voted in first-time Councilman Charlie Honeycutt — who attended his first meeting on the city council on Tuesday.
Unlike in Long Beach, Signal Hill’s councilmembers take turns being mayor and vice mayor. The vice mayor typically succeeds the mayor the following year. However, the previous vice mayor, Ed Wilson, decided to retire this year rather than serve another term as mayor.
Keir Jones will serve as mayor instead, and Tina Hansen will serve as vice mayor.
Outgoing Mayor Lori Woods was honored with a reception at Signal Hill City Hall in her honor after Tuesday’s council meeting, and will continue to serve as a member of the council.
Signal Hill City Council meetings take place on alternating Tuesdays at 7 p.m. and can be watched online on Legistar or in person at Signal Hill City Hall, located at 2175 Cherry Ave.
