Brantford City Councillors have been offered more details following the appointment of Coun. Rose Sicoli to the position of deputy mayor for external relations.
The appointment is a volunteer and unpaid position and Sicoli will continue in her role as a councillor representing Ward 1.
In addition, the deputy mayor does not automatically take over the mayor’s position if, for some reason, Davis is unable to continue as mayor prior to May 1, 2026.
Instead, the city would be required to hold a by-election to fill the mayor’s position. Council could also decide to appoint someone to the role.
Davis, using his so-called Strong Mayor powers, earlier this month appointed Sicoli to the position.
Davis said that protecting, strengthening and growing the local economy is one of the most critical duties of the mayor.
