Altamont City Council members Monday welcomed new commissioner Zain Parker to the body.
Parker was sworn in to succeed Jason Rippetoe, who resigned due to work commitments. A presentation was made to Rippetoe for his service as both commissioner and as mayor.
Parker will serve until the next city election, when he can seek a full term.
