Granite Shoals City Secretary Elaine Simpson, right, administers the oath of office to Jim Davant, selected to fulfill the unexpired term of Eric Tanner in Place 3 on the Council. That seat was incorrectly identified as Place 6 in the Oct. 14 edition of The Highlander.

James D. “Jim” Davant has succeeded Eric Tanner on Place 3 of the Granite Shoals City Council and former council member Merilyn Nations has been chosen for the 2017 John Rinehart Memorial Award for Outstanding Community Service.

Davant was one of four candidates who interviewed in open session of the Council on Oct. 10, to the pleasure of the council, before their choice was made by ballot.

“If we hadn't settled on a procedure, I might recommend we throw a dart at a list,” said Mayor Pro Tem Tom Dillard, referring to the interviews with Davant, Will Skinner, Arturo Rubio and Terry G. Scott.
