The office bearers will be decided at Monday night's meeting with mayor Kevin Mack and deputy Amanda Cohn standing again.
Cr van de Ven was not certain of vying for either role, but if he did so it would be on the basis of providing a contest and reflecting concern at Cr Mack's performance.
"There's a feeling in the community he's not doing a good job, that he's not representing us very well; that would be the only reason I would be standing, to be an alternative for councillors, in case some of them feel likewise," Cr van de Ven said.

Asked how he personally saw the mayor's conduct, Cr van de Ven said it had been a "little bit up and down".
Cr Mack said given the impending departure of Wodonga mayor Anna Speedie he would provide continuity as the Regional Deal and COVID recovery played out.
"With everything that is happening in the world there's a lot of reasons to have stability at the local government level," Cr Mack said.
Asked about Cr van de Ven's comments, Cr Mack said: "Henk is entitled to his view, it's a democratic process.
"We'll all be judged by our performance in 12 months time if we choose to stand again (at the next election)."
Cr Mack said he did not decided whether he would seek another term when next year's Albury poll was held after having been postponed from this month because of the coronavirus.
Cr Cohn said she and Cr Mack had "worked well together for the past four years and I hope to continue that collaboration on behalf of our community for the one-year extension of our council term".
Meanwhile, a Facebook page Engage | Wodonga Elections October 2020 has been established to aid voters.
Administrator Bobbi McKibbin said it was devised because COVID had limited the ability of candidates to engage with the community.
She said the group behind it would meet on Saturday with the aim of finalising plans for online forums featuring the 19 contenders.
Ms McKibbin said it was likely they would be split into two or three sessions with a draw deciding the line-up for each one.
The Facebook page will also feature discussions about individual topics.
