PORT ANGELES — The City Council chose Council member Dan Di Guilio today to serve as mayor for the next two years.
It was a 5-0 vote, with Di Guilio not voting.
Immediately afterward, the council was deadlocked over a selection for deputy mayor.
Council members Cherie Kidd and Don Perry each received three votes.
Both voted for themselves. Council members Max Mania and Pat Downie voted for Kidd, while Council members Brooke Nelson and Dan Di Guilio voted for Perry.
The council voted 6-0 to postpone selecting a deputy mayor until a seventh member is appointed.
One position is vacant after Larry Little, who was elected Nov. 3, announced his resignation last week. Little said he determined that he could not fulfill his role on the council while his wife battles cancer.
