Lafayette Mayor To Step Down After 4 Months

LAMORINDA, CA — Lafayette Mayor Cam Burks announced Monday night that he will be stepping down as mayor, effective April 20.

In a speech at the end of Monday's meeting, Burks said he was leaving to devote more time to his family and to a new professional opportunity in the Bay Area.

"Our mayor should be able to commit to the position 100-plus percent ... and I just won't be able to do this given these circumstances," he said at the meeting.

"It has been a sincere honor and a privilege to serve Lafayette -- and certainly the most rewarding four months I've had in public service," Burks said.

Burks will remain on the Council through 2020 to complete his term.
