Council accepts Taylor Dunn's resignation; opens 30-day window to appoint replacement
Summary
Council accepted Councilmember Taylor Dunn's resignation after he said state law bars him from serving while appointed as a public defender. The council opened a 30‑day appointment window and set an Aug. 31 application deadline and public interviews in early September.
Council accepted the resignation of Councilmember Taylor Dunn on Aug. 20, starting a 30‑day clock to appoint a replacement. Taylor Dunn, who spoke at the meeting and identified himself by name and address, told council he had been appointed to the public defender's office and said the Public Defender Act bars him from holding another office.
"I am forced to resign," Dunn said, calling it a privilege to serve and urging residents to apply for the vacancy. President Paykoff moved to accept the resignation "with great regret;" the motion was seconded and passed unanimously. Paykoff said applications are due Aug. 31 at noon and that public interviews will be held in early September, with an intent to appoint at the Sept. 17 legislative meeting.
The council did not discuss interim replacements in detail at the meeting; council members thanked Dunn for his service. The acceptance of the resignation formally triggers the borough's appointment timeline and public-notice requirements.
