WOODSTOCK - Mayor Trevor Birtch is taking a step back from some of his mayoral duties with the City of Woodstock.

Acting Mayor Connie Lauder will be chairing council meetings and fulfilling other duties for him until further notice. She made the announcement at the start of last night's budget meeting.
