The Brownstown Town Council recently organized for 2018.

During its first meeting of the new year Monday, Sally Lawson was unanimously voted as president of the five-member council for the second year in a row.

Lawson has been with the council since October 2015, when she was sworn in as the Ward 5 representative after Dustin Steward resigned because he moved out of the ward.

Town council members also were assigned to commissions. They are Sharon Koch, parks and recreation; Mark Reynolds, cemetery; Gary Drake, police department; and Gregg Goshorn, street department and sewage utility.

Rodney Farrow with Farrow & Thompson also was retained as the town attorney.
