Millsboro Town Council appoints Gary Mack to fill a vacant seat on the council.
Mack currently serves on the town’s Board of Adjustment, a position he says he will resign after the board’s next meeting on April 13. He is set to be sworn in on May 4.
“Thank you so much for the confidence you have in me. I'm looking forward to joining you,” Mack told council members. “I've enjoyed the last year and a half or two years that I've been coming to the meetings and seeing the progress that this town has made, and I want to continue with that. I want to be a team player.”
Town Manager Jamie Burk told council members that, while they received two applications for the open seat, only one of the candidates was actually qualified to serve.
“Upon review, one of the letters, the person that submitted it doesn't live within town limits,” Burk said.
Mack will fill a seat vacated by Matthew Davis, who resigned last month. Davis said he was moving and would no longer be a resident in District 3.
Mack will serve out the remainder of Davis’s term, which expires this summer. Mack will have the option to run for a full term in the town elections on June 13.
