Stand-in Commissioner David Stern has returned to the dais for a year in an elevated role in Highland Beach.
Late last month, commissioners unanimously appointed him vice mayor less than a week after he finished a temporary stint filling three months of the unexpired term of Peggy Gossett-Seidman, now a state representative.
Stern’s latest appointment comes after Vice Mayor Natasha Moore became mayor following Mayor Doug Hillman’s death earlier in March.
In choosing Stern to fill the one year remaining in the vice mayor’s term, commissioners cited his extensive experience on town boards and his three months on the commission.
Stern has served on the Financial Advisory Board, the Charter Review Board and on a committee auditing the town’s water plant. He also chaired the Code Enforcement Board and the Board of Adjustment and Appeals.
A 25-year-plus resident of Highland Beach, Stern is also president of Highland Place Condominium.
