clason-mayor
Jennifer Clason got to wield the gavel Monday as the new mayor of Henryetta. She was named to the post by a vote of the council at a special noon meeting that saw Christy Jeffcoat and Shannon Scott taking their seats on the governing body.
Clason, who was elected to the Ward 4 council post two years ago, is the first female mayor for the town. Henry Koelzer was named vice-mayor.
She pointed out the city council has already made an impression on changing things and, "we want to continue to move forward with."
She borught up Nichols Park work saying plans call for an ampitheater to be built and inflatable recreation devices added to the lake.
Recruiting business for Henryetta is needed. "With Christy and shannon added to it (the council), we are headed in the right direction and you should see Henryetta grow."
