Larry Spilak is back as the Mayor of the MD of Foothills.

Spilak was chosen to lead the seven member MD Council by his fellow Councillors at last week's organizational meeting.

Spilak says he's excited to get to work with the brand new Council.

"There's a really good mix, and that's what it takes to make a really good Council. The next four years are certainly going to be challenging. We have a lot of issues ahead of us. Some of them growth issues, most of them growth issues really."

Spilak says another big issue will be water.

Mainly where to get it, and how to distribute it.
