Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry is recovering from heart surgery. Deputy Mayor Karl Bandemer is handling day-to-day operations with the help of other city departments.

A statement issued by Henry’s office says the bypass procedure was a success and "he is resting comfortably and anticipates returning to regular work activities in the next week to 10 days."

Henry took office in 2008. Bandemer was named deputy mayor in 2013 after serving as vice president of downtown development for the former Fort Wayne-Allen County Economic Development Alliance, which is now Greater Fort Wayne Inc.
