            Elgin Mayor Bill Pfister and Councilmembers Sarah Schori and Sara Strong were sworn in during the Elgin City Council meeting Monday night, Dec. 16. Pfister, who was re-elected as mayor, has served in that capacity since January 2004. Schori and Strong were also re-elected to their council positions and will begin their third consecutive terms in January.

            Also at Monday’s meeting, City Superintendent Tom Martin updated the council on several issues now that the Center Street Project is mostly complete. After removing snow the first few times since construction was completed, Martin reports that the process went smoothly and presented no major problems.
