A three-term mayor, Mr Kons was one of six councillors to nominate for the top job in the 2022 election, and at times has butted heads with Mayor Teeny Brumby.
Councillor Brumby says while she and the former mayor didn’t always see eye to eye, his service to the council and the city has been significant.
