Starting in July, Wayne Roth will replace Val Tollefson as the Bainbridge Island City Council’s deputy mayor following an unanimous vote on the motion by the council at a recent meeting.
“In six months, you’ll look as old as I do,” Tollefson joked after the vote.
The deputy mayor is a six-month rotating position among council members, Tollefson said.
Roth, Tollefson and Roger Townsend were all elected to four-year terms to the council by voters in November 2013.
