Town mourns White
Members to decide next course of action
As the Town mourns the passing of South Ward Alderman David White, Farragut Board of Mayor and Aldermen members will have to decide its next course of action.
As White, who was elected in 2022, still had a year of his term remaining, Mayor Ron Williams said the board will discuss how to replace him during its meeting, which starts at 7 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 28.
That discussion will take place as a business item but it will be “discussion only,” Williams said.
• The next course of action will be to take applications from people in the public who are interested in filling the seat.
• After waiting a week, the mayor said interviews would be set up in which each aldermen individually will interview each applicant.
“I guess at the Sept. 25 Board of Mayor and Alderman meeting, we will vote on who we feel would be the best candidate,” Williams said.
