Jurrit Visser
In April 2013, Visser fell during a holiday in Turkey and broke five ribs. His recovery took longer than expected. His vestibular system turned out to be the cause. He stopped temporarily as a mayor. Rob Bats became acting mayor. In September 2013, the municipality announced that Visser was not able to fulfill the position of mayor due to his health. He officially retired on 1 December 2013.
