Lucas Thompson, member of the Saint Jo City Council, was appointed mayor Wednesday night to serve the unexpired term of Danny Steadham who resigned two weeks ago.
The Saint Jo City Council made the appointment following an executive session to discuss personnel items. Thompson was elected to the council during the last election one year ago coming on the council the same time as Steadham.
City Secretary Sherri Davis, whose last day was Thursday, said no decision was made on how to fill Thompson’s council seat. She anticipates the panel will wait until the three new council members take office in November before making a decision.

City of Bowie officials were on hand to inspect the emergency electrical generators that were delivered last week.
Mayor Gaylynn Burris and City Manager Bert Cunningham inspected one of three emergency electrical generators purchased as part of an ongoing Federal Emergency Management Agency Hazard Mitigation Grant. They also talked with Jay Evans, head of the city electric department, and Jerry Sutton, director of the water treatment plant about the next step for installation of the generators.
This grant provides funding for one 150 kW and two 250 kW generators for use at the water treatment plant.
