|
Kenneth Brand
|
Kenneth Brand is now serving
in his second term as mayor. He began serving the citizens of Sardis City
as a newly elected council member on October 6, 1980. He was originally
appointed over the recreation department but served most of his years serving
as the Police Commissioner. He had the responsibility of being the mayor
pro tem during his entire 20-year term as councilman. He was elected Mayor
in August of 2000. Because Mayor Brand has always wanted to see Sardis
City grow to its full potential, it has been a natural progression to see
him move from councilman to mayor. In July, Mayor Brand was presented
with a 20-year service award by the League of Municipalities for his dedication
to public service. His desire to see Sardis City continue to make advances
toward being a first choice location for businesses and families alike
is still his primary goal. |

Russell Amos

Councilman Russell Amos
is now serving in his second term as a city council member. The recreation
department continues to be an obvious area for Councilman Amos to serve
in due to his past and current involvement with the ball teams in Sardis
City. In the past, Russell has served as president of girls’ softball and
has been involved in Dixie Youth baseball through his son’s participation
in that program. He is in close contact with many in the community who
