Woodward holds onto to mayor pro-tem post

Whenever Walhalla Mayor Danny Edwards is unable to perform his duties, his substitute will remain Danny Woodward.  Councilman Woodward survived a paper ballot vote among his colleagues last night to retain the post of mayor pro-tem.  He overcame a challenge from first-term Councilwoman Sarai Melendez, after Councilman David Underwood joined the meeting and a first vote of 3-3 was broken in favor of Woodward 4-3.  Grant Keehn had motioned for Melendez; Keith Pace responded by nominating Woodward.
