Brad Lewis was sworn-in as the city’s interim councilmember Monday night, filling the void left by Omar Ahmad's sudden death last month.

“I’m really doing this out of honor and respect for Omar Ahmad,” Brad Lewis said. “Omar was a friend and somebody I served up here with. I truly sorry it’s under these circumstances that I’m back but I’m honored to be back and thanks to everybody for the opportunity.”

Lewis was unanimously appointed to the position last week, edging out 11 other applicants including former mayor and councilman Don Eaton.

The council said they chose Lewis because of his experience and attitude.

“I think he brings a unique set of information and experience and thought process to this body,” said Councilman Bob Grassilli. “I feel we do have a lot of challenges in the next six months. Mr. Lewis will luckily be able to understand the process.”

The city council was left with a vacancy after the sudden heart attack of Mayor Omar Ahmad on May 10. Ahmad’s death prompted Vice-Mayor Andy Klein to serve the city as acting-Mayor. The city council decided it would wait to fill the fifth slot on the dais before publically voting on the mayoral appointment.

My mate Andy Booth recently sold his Klein Attitude Comp 2000, and I feel the time is right to salute man and rig. The details are hazy, but as I remember Andy bought the Klein in 2000 with some insurance money. Yet the Klein was lean and fast, and over time, as is to be expected, the frame was adorned with all manner of trick upgrades, including Hope hubs in gun-metal grey, and – the jewel in the crown – a Chris King headset. In the end, the Klein was replaced by a younger, sleeker model, and its once glossy sheen became covered in the dust of neglect. Latterly though, the Klein fell from grace, and became rather a sad figure, its whale-like Serfas saddle in particular becoming the butt of many a trailside joke.
