Egan resigns from council
...
The resignation of Councilor Andy Egan has brought to three the number of Town Council seats that will be open on election day.
...
As first reported Monday at www.cabinet.com, "Andy announced this morning that he was resigning for personal reasons," said council Chairman Bill Van Anglen.
...
However, since Egan "wants to go through town meeting one week before the election," according to Van Anglen, "we'll have to reappoint him" through the election.
...
In other words, Egan has to resign now so his seat will be open, but he will be reappointed temporarily.
"I have responsibilities within the budget that should be followed through," Egan said Tuesday.
In his letter submitted Monday to the Town Council, Egan wrote: "It is with great regret that I have decided to resign from the last two years of my term."
"My health has been a preeminent concern in my life for nearly four years now . . . It has been my extreme pleasure to have served with each of you and most importantly to have served the people of Bedford."
Egan is the chairman emeritus of The Educational Farm at Joppa Hill, and was the council liaison on the Bedford Village Common Committee and the Highway and Safety Commission.
