David Nichols will serve as Mason mayor after being selected by City Council at its organizational meeting on Dec. 1.
Nichols was first appointed to council in the fall of 2008 to fill a vacant seat and was elected to a four-year term in 2009. He’s served as vice mayor for the past two years.
Council also elected Victor Kidd as vice mayor. Kidd, a local minister and coffee shop owner, served two terms on Mason’s city council before stepping down in 2009 to lead a church in Hawaii.
Kidd was elected to a four-year term on council last month. He and Nichols will serve as vice mayor and mayor for two years.
Newly elected council members Tom Grossmann and Barbara Berry-Spaeth were also sworn in at the meeting.
Grossmann, an assistant prosecutor with Hamilton County, served two terms on Mason’s city council from 2001 to 2009 and as mayor from 2007 to 2009.
Berry-Spaeth retired in 2005 from a 20-year career as a caseworker and special needs adoption specialist with the Commonwealth of Kentucky before seeking her first term on council.
Council members serve for four years.
