NEWPORT – The newly elected members of Newport's City Council will meet on Thursday to informally elect a new mayor and vice-mayor.
In a posting on the Secretary of State's website, the council-elect announced a caucus to be held on Thursday, Nov. 12 at 5:30 p.m. in the conference room of City Hall "for the purposes of informally electing a mayor and vice chairman of the council for the 2013-2015 term of office."
Current Mayor Henry F. Winthrop, who earned the second highest vote total in the council's At-Large race last week, is expected to retain his spot as head of the council.
The meeting will also serve to informally appoint the city's solicitor, municpal court judge, and probate judge.
