Monday, October 27, marked the final Hoover City Council meeting for three incumbent councilmen who chose not to seek re-election: Councilman Sam Swiney, Council president pro-tempore Curt Posey and Council president John Lyda. The council also recognized Mayor Frank Brocato, who lost his re-election bid. 

With the qualifying period closed, at least three members of the Hoover City Council will be vacating their seats. Curt Posey, Sam Swiney, and John Lyda chose not to run for reelection.

One year ago this week, Hoover City Councilor Steve McClinton proposed removing Council president John Lyda from his leadership position and replacing him with Councilman Casey Middlebrooks. Of the six members on the council present that evening, only one voted against the motion to vacate.

Four of seven councilmen have endorsed Derzis in his effort to unseat incumbent mayor Frank Brocato, with two council members saying they'll stay neutral and one who did not respond to a request for comment.

Hoover City Council president pro-tempore Curt Posey will not seek reelection for a third term.
