Perth County’s new Warden is a familiar face.
Perth East Mayor Rhonda Ehgoetz was elected to the position during the inaugural meeting of the newly elected Perth County Council on Thursday afternoon.
Fellow county councilors chose Ehgoetz, a 12-year member of the council including the past three terms as Deputy Mayor, over North Perth Mayor Todd Kasenberg.
Ehgoetz says she’s looking forward to working with all her fellow council members and adds she wants to “help make Perth County a great place to live.”
She has served on Perth East Council for 22 years.
Ehgoetz succeeds Perth South Deputy Mayor Jim Aitcheson, who served in the position for three terms before announcing he wouldn’t seek re-election.
North Perth Deputy Mayor Doug Kellum was elected Deputy Warden after no one ran against him.
