Mike Navarre will serve as mayor until the borough holds a special election to finish out Charlie Pierce’s term.
Mike Navarre has been mayor of the Kenai Peninsula Borough twice before. He said his interim tenure in the role, beginning Oct. 1, will be to keep the borough relatively stable during its leadership transition.
Navarre said he has no plans to run for another partial or full term. But he said he wants to help the borough through its leadership transition — which he said will be especially important during the upcoming budget process for fiscal year 2024. “It’s a tough job for us to do,” Cox said at a committee meeting. “We have appointments to make sometimes. And this is one of those tough times. And I think we just need to make some choices.”
