SAGINAW, MI - Floyd Kloc, mayor of the city of Saginaw, announced he will not seek another term on City Council at its Monday, July 13 meeting.
Kloc served as the city’s attorney for more than nine years in the 1990s, he said, and has spent nine years on council as well. He was elected to council in 2011 and was voted mayor pro tem by his fellow members in 2016. He was voted mayor in November 2018.
“After a lot of thought and consideration, I’ve decided that 18-plus years of service to the city will be enough, so I won’t be running for reelection in November,” Kloc said. “This decision comes with a certain amount of regret, because I know there is more this council can do to move Saginaw forward and I love being part of that so far.”
Kloc’s seat is one of five up for election in November, and the mayor said he wanted to announce his retirement before misleading anyone by filing paperwork to run or waiting long enough to file that others couldn’t. After the new council is seated, the members will choose a new mayor and mayor pro tem.
The deadline to file to run for council or the Saginaw Public Schools board of education is next Tuesday, July 21 at 4 p.m. For instructions on how to file for the November 3 elections, read our story here.
Kloc said he will finish his term through October, and he’s confident City Council will continue to advocate for the community.
Councilmember Autumn Scherzer congratulated Kloc and thanked him for his service to the city over the years. City Manager Tim Morales echoed Scherzer’s comments and said he looks forward to working with Kloc through the rest of his term.
“You really have showed your heart and your desire to make Saginaw thrive,” Scherzer said. “You will be missed on council.”
