RIDGELEY – With the municipal election set for June 8, the Ridgeley mayor and council are taking a closer look at how the town operates; looking to understand the role each official plays, their duties, responsibilities and boundaries.
“I think we need to define what the mayor can do with the council and without the council,” said councilman Duke Lantz. “It’s about communication and the roles are not defined.”
“It would make the mayor’s job easier,” said mayor Mark Jones.
The council is planning a work session to begin defining the roles and Lantz urged each member to jot down what they do, what they can spend, etc.
