Since he was 16 years old, Joseph Woods intended to one day be a member of the Harford County Council. That vision was fulfilled Tuesday night when the Harford County Council voted unanimously to install Woods, now 30 and chief of the Fallston Volunter Fire and Ambulance Company, as its newest member.
It was a bittersweet moment for Woods – who intended on running for the District B Fallston-Abingdon seat in 2010 with the help of councilwoman Veronica Chenowith, but instead ended up being selected to fill the seat on the county council vacated by her death.
“I have been planning for this since I was about 16. My goal was to run in 2010 with help from Miss Roni and Miss Joanne. I never imagined and did not want to think about a potential appointment possibility. Now that I’m appointed I need to learn a lot in a very short time. ...Continue Reading

The Harford County Council has started holding informal meetings with the nominees for the vacant District B Fallston/Abingdon seat – Fallston attorney Tim Braue, Abingdon attorney Derek Howell, and Fallston fire chief Joseph Woods.
The council does not seem to have established a formal process, and has not announced when the final selection will be made. It is likely that the vote will not occur at Tuesday’s meeting, and council members will meet with the nominees in groups of no more than 3 over the next two weeks to stay within council rules prohibiting unpublicized meetings with a quorum of members.
