Thanking Councilman Boedeker for His Service

Councilman and Mayor Pro Tem Christopher Boedeker will be moving on to another elected position at the start of the new year. Boedeker won his election to become Johnson County Judge in May. His last date serving on the Cleburne City Council will be Dec. 31.

At the Dec. 13 council meeting, councilmembers and city administration gave a farewell to Boedeker. They noted that although he will be a county judge now, he will never be too far away. Councilman Mike Mann, of Single-Member District Three (SMD 3), was appointed as the new mayor pro tem in Boedeker’s place, which will be effective Jan. 1.
