Former Mayor Now Cooleemee’s Clerk
|
Lynn Rumley was appointed by the board in a 3-1 decision. Commissioners Chuck Taylor, Chris Branham, and Jean Snead approved. Commissioner Tommy Daywalt opposed the decision.
Rumley is the director of Cooleemee’s Textile Heritage Center and works closely with Cooleemee Historical Association.
Last month John Chandler resigned as the town’s mayor to take the position as town clerk.
Rumley will serve the remainder of Chandler’s term, which expires December 2011.
She will be sworn in as mayor at the board meeting on March 15.
The board had planned to appoint a mayor at their regularly scheduled Feb. 15 meeting, but Snead was absent for medical reasons and they wanted all board members present when the appointment took place, Chandler said.
