Dunkirk Mayor Wilfred Rosas had someone in mind to replace outgoing develoment director Rebecca Wurster. Without naming the individual, Rosas said the candidate was someone who is qualified and experienced.
On Thursday, however, that individual withdrew his name after Rosas was met with opposition over the potential appointmet from Dunkirk Common Council.
Despite the Dec. 1 meeting where council allowed for walk-in resolutions regarding the $24 million budget which goes against city policy, members would not be as forgiving if Rosas attempted that same maneuver.
Rosas admitted frustration with not being able to have a second Common Council member sponsor the resolution naming the individual. Neither council members Don Williams Jr., James Stoyle or Nancy Nichols would back the proposal that had the support of Martin Bamonto.
