The Aberdeen City Council voted unanimously Monday to make Councilman Mike Hiob its next president, to the surprise of its last president, who said he expected to be reappointed.

Hiob, 47, replaces Ron Kupferman, who was named president last year. Hiob has been on the council for three years, while Kupferman has served on the council during various times since the 1970s.
