Baileys Harbor Town Chair Resigns

Baileys Harbor Town Chair Doug Smith resigned July 12 after serving 14 months of his two-year term. In a letter to the board, Smith cited “private matters” as the reason for his resignation. 

Vice Chair Barbara Anschutz will run the next regularly scheduled board meeting, during which the board will set a date for a special meeting to appoint a new chair and decide what to do with the empty supervisor position. 

Smith defeated incumbent Town Chair Don Sitte in April of 2019. Smith had previously served as the town’s clerk/administrator for 10 years, resigning from that position in March of 2017.
