A vacancy now exists on Emsworth Council.

Council voted at its regular meeting Wednesday to accept the resignation of member David Heflin. Heflin did not give colleagues a reason for his resignation, and declined to comment when contacted later.

Council member Dan Lenz voted against accepting Heflin’s resignation. Council member Paul Getz was absent.

Emsworth also is looking for a new member of the vacancy board, which sometimes is used to fill council seats, after Andrew Potoski resigned his seat on the board.
