It is certain that when present city council president John Powers comes to the end of his term, either city councillor at large Dan Rizzo or George Colella will be the next council president.
Colella hasn’t been lobbying his colleagues for votes, and it was expected that Rizzo would be next. In a recent meeting between the two, Rizzo said he was hoping to receive Colella’s vote but would step aside if Colella made his intentions known.
It is doubtful Colella will be actively running for the council presidency.
