OCEAN CITY – Council President Lloyd Martin and Council Secretary Mary Knight were re-appointed during the Mayor and City Council Organizational Meeting held last Thursday night.
Worcester County Chair of the Board of Elections Mary Adeline Bradford read into the record the results of this year’s election at the meeting. There were 2,212 citizens that cast their ballot in person while 144 turned in absentee ballots, eight of which were disqualified, totaling 2,348 voted in the 2014 municipal election.
In this year’s election, the mayor’s seat and four council seats were to be filled. Council President Lloyd Martin was the only council incumbent to file. Former Councilwoman Margaret Pillas and former Councilman Brent Ashley did not file to be re-elected. Amid his four-year term, Councilman Joe Mitrecic ran unopposed to represent Ocean City on the Worcester County Commission.

I'm not from OC but I've watched the meetings online and I'm sorry to see Ms Pillas isn't on the council anymore. That lady is as smart as a whip. She had them all beat in the thorough department.

She wasn't one for knee jerk reactions, "passing the bill, before we read it" type.
