Stonecipher to lead council again
Everett City Council President Brenda Stonecipher was elected to a second term as head of the council Wednesday.
Councilman Arlan Hatloe nominated Stonecipher before the Council confirmed his the nomination with a unanimous vote.
“The leader of our council needs to be able to communicate and work well with the administration and the mayor’s staff, and I think Brenda has demonstrated all of those talents,” he said.

In addition to serving as president of the council, she was also elected mayor pro tempore.
