Nick Derzis, a 45-year veteran of the Hoover Police Department and former chief, was sworn in as mayor on November 4, 2025, marking a new chapter in city leadership.
He was joined by seven newly elected council members, including Casey Middlebrooks as council president and Khristi Driver as president pro tempore.
Derzis pledged transparency, live-streamed meetings, and swift action, citing a $9 million annual loss from the Riverchase Galleria as a key challenge.
The council reinstated Charlie Waldrep as city attorney and appointed Daniel Wainscott as assistant prosecutor, while adopting updated rules that extend public comment time to four minutes.
Derzis plans to name a new police chief later in November.
