Members of the Whitewater Common Council during Tuesday’s regular meeting elected Patrick Singer as their new president, following former president Neil Hicks, who was next elected as the council’s president pro tem.

Singer, once seated as president, reminded council members, and members of the public, that a pro tem president serves in the capacity of a vice president.

The two council members each were the sole nominee for the positions to which they were elected.
