Council accepts resignation, declares vacancy and outlines selection timeline

The council approved Resolution 2026-015 accepting a council member’s resignation and formally declaring the council seat vacant. Councilors discussed how to proceed: staff said they can advertise the vacancy in the paper, accept written statements of interest, and either appoint if only one candidate applies or hold interviews if more people express interest. The council set a target application cutoff in early June to allow time for interviews before the next regular meeting.
