SARATOGA SPRINGS, Utah (AP) -- Utah's first black woman mayor has taken office.

Mia B. Love thanked those who helped her become Saratoga Springs new mayor as she took the oath of office before a crowd of more than 120 people Friday night.

She replaced longtime Mayor Timothy Parker, who stepped down after a decade in office.

He says the city's in good hands with Love at the helm and expects a smooth transition because Love previously served for six years on the City Council.
