Erie Town Council is scheduled to consider a resolution Nov. 10 that would make Mayor Andrew J. Moore’s resignation effective after the council approves its 2027 budget and declare the office vacant. The meeting is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. or immediately after the Urban Renewal Authority meeting, the agenda packet says.
Under the Town’s announced succession plan, Mayor Pro Tem Brandon Bell would assume the mayor’s office when the vacancy occurs and serve until the next mayoral election in November 2028, the Town said. The council is not scheduled to elect a replacement mayor; instead, the resolution calls for council members to elect a new mayor pro tem.
Bell’s move to the mayor’s office would leave his District 2 council seat vacant until the council member elected Nov. 3 is sworn in Jan. 12, according to the agenda packet.
