The City of Forsyth's Board of Aldermen has set the first meeting in the process of impeaching the town's mayor.
At their regular meeting Monday night, the board approved a legal advisor and court reporter for the hearings, and they scheduled a meeting for 6 p.m. next Monday, March 30, to determine a timeline for the impeachment process.
Earlier this month,the board approved allocating $30 thousand for impeachment proceedings against Mayor Julie AuBuchon. Board members have accused the mayor of failing her essential duties and creating a hostile work environment for city staff through what they describe as ongoing inappropriate sexual innuendos and comments.
Aubuchon has resisted calls from the board for her resignation. At a meeting earlier this month, the mayor welcomed the impeachment process as an opportunity to clear her name.
