City of Peoria Mayor Jason Beck and Councilmembers Jennifer Crawford, Denette Dunn, and Michael Finn were sworn in by Presiding Municipal Judge George Anagnost for four-year terms at the Jan. 3 city council meeting.
“The city of Peoria is an extraordinary community, and I am grateful and honored for the opportunity to serve as Peoria’s mayor,” says Mayor Jason Beck. “I am committed to working closely alongside Peoria residents, Peoria City Council, and city leadership to help realize Peoria’s full potential.”
Peoria City Council also appointed Councilmember Denette Dunn to serve as vice mayor, and Councilmember Jon Edwards to serve as mayor pro tem for one-year terms.
The appointment of both positions is pursuant to the Peoria City Charter, which states council shall designate one of its members as vice mayor and a separate member as mayor pro tem. Both positions serve in such capacity at the pleasure of city council and for terms established by council. The vice mayor performs the duties of the mayor during his absence or disability. This is a succession position in the case of the mayor’s permanent absence. The mayor pro tem performs the duties of the mayor during the absence of both the mayor and the vice mayor.
