Demorest council fills mayor pro tem and check-signer roles over one dissent
Demorest City Council voted 3-1 on Jan. 6 to appoint Donnie Bennett as mayor pro tem and Shawn Allen as the councilman check signer, formalizing two roles in the city’s governing and financial operations. Councilman Davis dissented, according to the council minutes.
Record
January 6, 2026 · Approved
What happens next
No subsequent council action or scheduled follow-up on the appointments is documented. The next public development would be a later city record showing how the designations were carried out or whether the council revisited either role; until then, the only confirmed outcome is the Jan. 6 approval.
This matter rests on a single official record so far. It stays compact until a later record adds to it.
