The Dexter City Council has appointed resident Pavlo Popov as its newest member, replacing the departed Zach Michels.
Popov has lived in Dexter since 2019 and has a background as a Civil Affairs Officer for the U.S. Army. He was one of seven residents who applied for the seat.
Mayor Shawn Keough says it was not an easy decision of whom to nominate.
“Last weekend, I was able to meet with all seven people. We have wonderful, wonderful people in this town. All seven of them could represent the other citizens of Dexter.”
Keough says he hopes the other candidates will remain active in Dexter, including volunteering to serve in other capacities.
The council appointed Popov unanimously Monday night, and he was immediately sworn-in to his position. He will remain on council until the November 2026 election.
