Duncan takes mayor's seat

The Longboat Key Town Commission appointed Jack Duncan as mayor and Terry Gans as vice mayor at its March 16 statutory meeting.

Duncan has served in the District 2 seat for the past four years and was appointed vice mayor last year. He ran unopposed this year for a third and final term in his seat.

Gans joined the commission in 2012 and currently holds the District 3 seat.

Duncan was also sworn into his commission seat, along with newly elected District 4 Commissioner Jack Daly and Commissioner Phill Younger, who won a final term in his at-large seat in last week's election.

Mayor Jim Brown, who reached term limits for the District 4 seat after six years, signed off at tonight's meeting.
