All five district commissioners take office at noon Tuesday, Nov. 17, including newcomer Patricia Hawkins-Williams. The commission also picks a vice mayor.

Pompano Beach’s five district commissioners will be sworn in at noon Tuesday, Nov. 17, at a special City Commission meeting. The commission will also choose a new vice mayor at the same meeting.

The city announced the induction ceremony in a release Monday. It takes place in the Commission Chambers at City Hall, 100 W. Atlantic Blvd.

Who takes office

Four seats were on the Nov. 3 ballot. The winners, from the Broward County Supervisor of Elections’ unofficial results, are:

  • District 1: Audrey Anne Fesik, the sitting commissioner
  • District 2: Rhonda Eaton, the sitting commissioner
  • District 3: Alison Fournier, the sitting commissioner and current vice mayor
  • District 4: Patricia Hawkins-Williams, who defeated Commissioner Beverly Perkins

District 5 was not on the ballot. The city’s current elections database lists Commissioner Darlene Smith as the only qualified candidate for the seat. One other candidate withdrew and another did not qualify.

Hawkins-Williams is the only new face. Our election results story has the vote totals for each race. The county has not yet certified the results.

Terms and the vice mayor vote

The city said commissioners serve two-year terms. Mayor Rex Hardin will not be inducted. He is partway through the four-year term the mayor serves, the city said.

The vice mayor is elected by the six-member commission from among its own members. The post lasts one year. Fournier holds it now.
