Only four months old, the Town of Perdido Beach, Alabama though still without laws, money or even a City Hall, now has leaders. On Thursday evening, members of the inaugural town council took their oath of office in a half-hour ceremony at the Perdido Beach Baptist Church.About 100 people filled the small church, meaning that nearly 20 percent of Baldwin County's least populated municipality turned out to see Mayor Patsy Parker and council members Al Thompson, William Kelley, Ronnie Resmondo, Patti Larsen and Dennis Kaiser sworn in by Baldwin County Probate Judge Adrian Johns.
An election was schedule for October, but only six candidates qualified and that was the mayor and five council members. "I think this is probably a tremendous milestone for our small community, But I guess it's just the spirit of America and being able to make up your own mind in your own community and do your own thing." Kaiser a newly sworn council member told the audience.
Now they can officially schedule their meetings and began to set their laws and create tax revenue for the city. I wonder who will donate the first house and land for a city hall.
