The city council in Springfield, Massachusetts meets Monday for the first time in 2015.
The council will meet Monday morning to elect a president and vice-president. City Council President Mike Fenton announced in November that he had secured the unanimous support of his colleagues on the 13-member council to serve a second term as Council President.
"It is unusual. It makes it more special for me to have the honor to lead the chamber for two consecutive calendar years."
It’s a municipal election year for the entire city council and the mayor. Domenic Sarno, who has held the mayor’s office since 2008, said he plans to run for another four-year term.
