Lewes Deputy Mayor Bonnie Osler will not seek another term on city council.
Osler, who is nearing the end of her fourth term, said it is time to step aside.
“If people are thinking about running or even wondering if there’s going to be an open seat, I kind of owe it to them to give them a heads-up,” Osler said.
Osler was first elected to council in 2012, shortly after moving to Lewes following a career with the federal government.
Osler is stepping down, in part, because she believes in term limits. She and her spouse Brook Hedge also recently purchased a second home in New Hampshire, where they will spend more time.

A Lewes committee is no longer looking into encroachments on the city’s right of way on Lewes Beach streets.
After spending several weeks analyzing potential obstructions, the city’s beach parking committee abruptly stopped after a majority of members raised questions about the amount of time the effort was taking and its overall purpose.
“I’m a little concerned we may not have sufficient time to address all the other issues in our charge,” said Kevin McGuiness, noting the deadline to send a report to mayor and city council is Feb. 1. “The committee should not be expected to make recommendations about specific impediments that need to be removed. That is the work of the city, the staff and its council.”

Finding parking in downtown Lewes may be a little bit easier next summer if city officials can work out a deal with M&T Bank for public use of its parking lot at the corner of Third and Market streets.
After more than a year of discussions, Mayor Ted Becker said the city and the bank appear to be nearing an agreement for a two-year trial.
