VENICE – Mayor Ron Feinsod will not run for reelection.

Feinsod announced Friday he won’t run for a second term on the Venice City Council.

Feinsod told the Herald-Tribune, “I’ve addressed every issue I originally ran on and at this point I can accomplish more from the outside than I can from the inside.”

Venice voters can dramatically reshape the Council now that four out of seven seats are on the ballot. The City Council drew opposition for approving new land development recently on a 5 to 0 vote.

Vice mayor Nick Pachota filed to move from Seat 5 to run for the mayor’s slot earlier this year.

The final slate of candidates for all seats on the ballot will be known after 12:30 p.m. on August 26.
