The city of Brainerd completed its search for a new mayor Monday night, selecting Ed Menk to fill the position. Menk fills the vacancy left by James Wallin’s passing on September 26th. Menk will serve until the general election in November of 2016. At that time a mayor will be elected to serve the remaining two years of Wallin’s four-year term. Menk was one of six to apply. The six men were questioned by the Brainerd City Council Monday night during formal interviews, when each candidate got roughly 30 minutes to field questions from council members and provide opening and closing statements. Menk will be sworn in at the beginning of the city council meeting this coming Monday, December 7th. Menk has worked in downtown for 41 years and during his interview time cited his experience as an important piece he brings to the table as mayor.
