Tommy Waters is expected to be sworn in as the newest council member next week, replacing Mike Formby, who has served on an interim basis since January.

Former Councilman Trevor Ozawa was scheduled to be named chair in January, but a court challenge led to an election rematch between Ozawa and Waters for the District IV seat.

Waters won that race April 13.
