Big changes in Prophetstown leadership as Bruce Franks steps down from his role as mayor and transitions to serve as the city’s new police chief. Alderman Ryan Inskeep is now acting as Mayor Pro Tem, guiding city affairs until a permanent replacement is decided. During the February 10th City Council meeting, members agreed to postpone the appointment of a new mayor, opting instead to wait until March when all council members can be present for the important vote. This decision aims to ensure comprehensive input from city representatives as Prophetstown charts its future leadership course.
