April 12, 2023

Longtime Flomaton Mayor Dewey Bondurant resigned from office Tuesday afternoon.

Bondurant cited medical advice as the reason for his resignation, which was effective immediately.

Mayor pro tem and council member Jim Johnson will temporarily serve as mayor. The council will then fill the vacancy with a council member or any other resident. In the event they do not within 60 days, each existing council member will submit a name to the governor for appointment.  If the governor fails to make an appointment from the submitted names within 90 days, the probate judge will call a special election.

Bondurant was elected to a fifth term in 2020.

    To love Flomaton as much as this man did was one of his greatest attributes. One day, in free time, read about all he has done with the help of others in this small town. All this done will maintaining a full time job elsewhere. Congrats Mayor, and thank you for your many years of service.
