The Pawhuska City Council met for a regularly scheduled meeting Monday evening at City Hall and it was the first one for Councilwoman Jourdan Foran, who defeated Steve Holcombe in a run-off election in May.

At the meeting, it was determined that Mark Buchanan would be elected to the Vice-Mayor position and serve as Chaplain. Buchanan had been a Councilman serving Ward Three.

Pawhuska seniors Blake Allen and Cassidy Hindman were presented with plaques for being a 2019 honorary mayor and vice-mayor. For getting this distinction, the duo was able to get out in the community and see how the city runs on a daily basis. They are each a valedictorian and salutatorian in their senior class.
