In the last year, Scott was instrumental in the passage of Laguna Hills’ strict anti-smoking ordinance that went into effect in September.
Scott, father of eight children, is a labor lawyer who runs his own firm.
In another vote, Councilman Randal J. Bressette was chosen as the city’s mayor pro tem.
Scott’s and Bressette’s council terms expire in 1994.
