Black Mountain council member Doug resigns effective immediately
Summary
During the June 30 budget meeting, Council member Doug read a letter announcing his immediate resignation from the Black Mountain Town Council to focus on family responsibilities after nearly six years of service.
Council member Doug read a written resignation to the mayor and council near the end of the June 30 meeting, saying he was stepping down "effective immediately" to focus on family responsibilities after nearly six years of service. In the letter he thanked the community and council colleagues and cited recovery work after "Helen" and the personal cost of balancing council duties with family life.
Doug wrote that with the budget resolved and elections ahead, he believed the timing was appropriate to transition the role. Mayor thanked Doug after the statement. The council moved into executive session afterward and later reconvened and adjourned the budget meeting.
Next steps: The transcript records the resignation but does not record any formal discussion of filling the vacancy or the council's procedural next steps; the council will follow statutory or charter procedures for filling or otherwise addressing the vacancy in subsequent meetings.
