Following David Oller’s resignation last week as Mayor of Kincaid, the Village of Kincaid held their meeting on Monday night and appointed Bill Jarrett to the position as interim Mayor by a vote of 4-2. Jarrett was one of the trustees on the Village Board prior to being appointed. Jarrett told Regional Radio News he commends Oller for the job that he did and will continue to be interim Mayor until April 2017.

Jarrett said one of the biggest priorities is getting the flood victims taken care of and there are some other issues they need to address and move forward.

Jarrett further stated he is more easily accessible since he is retired, while Oller had a full-time job.

Jarrett will have to appoint a trustee to fill in his vacant spot within the next 30-60 days.
