Webb Four-Year Council Run Over in Falls Church

There weren’t many people inside council chambers Monday night in the City of Falls Church.

In fact, there were only four of the seven council members in attendance for the last meeting before newly elected members are sworn in. Some of the people in the audience came to say goodbye to Councilman and thank him for his service to the city.

“It was a bit surreal having been on council the last four years,” Webb said. “I’m 38, so I’m still a young man.”

Webb and Mayor were both up for re-election with Webb being unsuccessful in his re-election bid. Councilwoman , whose term on council was also up, did not run for re-election. Gardner was amongst Monday’s absent council members. Baroukh, Duncan and Tarter will be sworn in as council members Monday, when council will also of the city.

After closing his final meeting as a council member, Webb stepped from the bench and shook hands with colleagues and friends. He said being on council was more to it than he thought but he learned a deal more from the experience.

“It has been a pleasure over the last four years to serve the citizens of the City of Falls Church,” Webb said.
