Mayor Frohlich Announces Resignation

CITY OF VICTOR ANNOUNCES LEADERSHIP TRANSITION PROCESS FOLLOWING MAYORAL RESIGNATION

Victor, Idaho (June 24, 2026) — The City of Victor today announced the process that will guide the transition of municipal leadership following Mayor Will Frohlich’s resignation, effective July 1, 2026.

Mayor Frohlich has issued a separate statement regarding his decision to resign. The City extends its appreciation for his service and contributions to the Victor community during his tenure.

Will Frohlich has served the City of Victor for more than a decade, beginning with appointments to the Victor Planning and Zoning Commission and the Victor Urban Renewal Agency before his election to the Victor City Council in 2015. During his tenure, Mayor Frohlich prioritized long-term infrastructure planning, including efforts to secure Victor's water and wastewater future, and provided steady leadership as Victor navigated a period of population growth and development pressures in Teton Valley. The City thanks Mayor Frohlich for his years of public service and his commitment to Victor's future.

Under Idaho law, the City Council President assumes the role of Acting Mayor upon the effective resignation of the Mayor. At its July 1 meeting, the City Council will formally recognize Council President Stacy Hulsing as Acting Mayor and consider next steps in the appointment process.

The City Council is expected to appoint an interim mayor from among its current members at its regular meeting on July 8. The appointment process is established by Idaho law and is designed to ensure continuity of governance while providing opportunities for public participation.

If a current councilmember is appointed interim mayor, that appointment will create a vacancy on the City Council. The City intends to fill that vacancy through a public application and interview process.
