City government began moving again Friday when three new members of the Clarendon Board of Aldermen took the oath of office.
New Aldermen Beverly Burrow, Larry Jeffers, and Doug Kidd joined current Aldermen Will Thompson and Sandy Skelton, and Mayor Larry Hicks presided at the city held its first official meeting in five months.
The board elected Thompson to serve as the city’s mayor pro-tem and also approved Foster & Lambert to conduct the city audit for fiscal year 2013.
The board also ratified the ad valorem tax rate of $0.65 per $100 valuation, and the Donley Appraisal District will now begin billing for city taxes.
Aldermen have several meetings scheduled over the coming few weeks to catch up on items of city business.
