Jacksonville City Council Vice-President Bill Gulliford has been elected to be the Council President for upcoming council year. The vote was unanimous.
Gulliford says the two biggest issues facing the Council over the next year will be the budget and pension reform.
The Alvin Brown administration has come up with pension reform plan with several of the city's unions.
A deal to modify the pension of new hires in police and fire was introduced to the city council Tuesday night.
Gulliford will officially take over as President July 1. Council member Clay Yarborough will be Vice-President.
