Stafford, Va. -- An ongoing effort to explore the addition of an At-large Chairman of the Stafford County Board of Supervisors took another turn, but not before lengthy debate on the issue.
The Board on Tuesday voted to create a panel that would study the feasibility of creating such a position – a Chairman that would be elected by voters and would answer to all of Stafford’s 130,000 residents. Sitting members of the Board currently appoint the Chairman who does not serve At-large.
Stafford must first petition Virginia’s General Assembly for permission for an At-large seat. Similar seats exist on Boards to the north, in Fairfax, Loudoun and Prince William.
