Mayor Hoots featured in Kentucky City magazine By Michele Hill Reprinted with permission Columbia Mayor Pam Hoots is proud of her city's accomplishments over the past several decades. She is technically serving her third term as mayor after reelection a few years ago. Her first term started in the early 1990s. "I was in HR here locally, and then the company downsized. So, I took a job out of town as an HR manager," she explained. "I moved back nine years ago.
