Red Bay welcomes new councilman

Jarod Massey signs the Oath of Office after being officially sworn in as Red Bay City Councilman June 5.

The Red Bay City Council has returned to full strength with the swearing in of Jarod Massey Friday.

“It’s a great honor to get to serve in this capacity,” Massey said. “I’m looking forward to working with this great council.”

Mayor David Tiffin said he and the council are “just tickled to death.” “We’re very excited he has accepted the challenge,” Tiffin said.

Massey, who grew up in Red Bay and graduated from RBHS, took over for Mike Stockton, who resigned from the council because of growing time conflicts with his business responsibilities.
