Dennis Burn Aims for the Deputy Mayor's Post
Long-time restaurant manager Dennis Burn has set his sights on the Deputy Mayor’s post for the municipal election this coming October. This made him the second person to announce his aim to run for office.
The well-known operator of a famous catering firm in Carleton Place is, as we speak, the longest serving town council member. He was re-elected to serve a third term as a councilor last November 2006.
Duncan Rogers, Carleton Place clerk, reported last Monday that Dennis Burn filed his papers for the upcoming municipal elections, but this time he is going for the Deputy Mayor’s post.
According to Rogers, there are still eight months before the close of the nominations. The full roster for the October elections won’t probably be known until the month of September. Many of the candidates don’t usually apply for candidacy until the last months of the nomination period.
The nominations officially opened last January 4, and they shall close at 2 pm on the 10th day of September.
Ontario’s Liberal government has increased the duration of terms preceding the elections last 2006. This time, the municipal candidates are mandated to serve for 4 years as opposed to the previous 3-year terms. The municipal election is set to occur on October 25, 2010. The current holder of the Deputy Mayor’s post is Ed Sonnenburg whose plans for the election are still unknown.
