Council appoints Ben Net as Purcellville vice mayor in 4–3 vote
Summary
Purcellville council appointed Ben Net as vice mayor for a one‑year term after brief debate about the position's responsibilities; the motion passed 4–3.
The council appointed town council member Ben Net as vice mayor for a one‑year term by a 4–3 vote. The motion was made and seconded during the meeting and put to roll call; the mayor recorded the result: "Motion passes 4 to 3."
Council discussion before the vote focused on whether the vice‑mayor role should be held by a senior member with fewer outside work obligations. One council member argued the role "should be held by someone senior on the council" because of the time requirements (S7). Others said the candidate would be an asset to the council. The appointment will last one year and the vice mayor will serve in the mayor's absence with the same powers and duties as described in the town charter.
