Burgstahler seated on Sisters City Council

Amy Burgstahler, a relatively new resident of Pine Meadow Village, was selected by members of the Sisters City Council to fill the seat left vacant by the recent resignation of Bill Hall.

Hall resigned his position in June, after less than a month on the job, citing undue levels of stress imposed by a contentious civic climate in town.

Burgstahler was sworn in and immediately took her seat at the July 23 council meeting. Her "baptism by fire" involved hearing extended testimony on the contentious issue of approving requested modification to the master plan for McKenzie Meadows Village.

She joined her fellow councilors in a unanimous vote to approve the modification. (See related story, page 1.)

The council will be required to make another appointment soon, in the wake of Wendy Holzman's resignation, announced last Friday (see story, page 1). Holzman is the third councilor to step down in the past four months.
