Mike Dalesandro was selected as the new mayor of Battle Ground at Tuesday night’s city council meeting.
Dalesandro and councilors Brian Munson, Adrian Cortes and Cherish DesRochers were sworn in at the meeting after winning their uncontested elections in November. In Battle Ground, the councilors pick a new mayor and deputy mayor. The councilors selected Shane Bowman to serve as deputy mayor. They will serve in this positions for the next two years.
This is Dalesandro’s second consecutive term on the council, as he was first elected to the seat in November 2013. Prior to his first term, he sat on the city’s planning commission, as did Munson, Cortes and DesRochers.
During his time as mayor, Dalesandro said he’s looking to help navigate growth in the city while seeking input from residents on what they want to see in Battle Ground.
