Council to advertise letters of interest to fill vacant term; treasurer resignation and term length discussed
Summary
Council agreed to advertise for letters of interest to fill a seat with a term ending at the end of the year; the meeting included public questions about the city treasurer’s recent resignation for health reasons.
Council members agreed to advertise for letters of interest to fill an unspecified vacant term that runs through the end of the year.
During the meeting a council member asked, "Joel, correct me if you're wrong. At this point, do we need to advertise... seven letters of interest to fill the remaining of this term, which at the end of this year?" The council agreed to post the vacancy and "put that out there" on the city’s social media channels. A council member advised the secretary/treasurer to handle the advertisement.
Separately during public comment a resident asked about the city treasurer’s resignation and said they had spoken with the former treasurer, who reportedly cited health issues. The resident expressed concern about there being no city treasurer as of that meeting and asked why the vacancy occurred with seven months left in the term.
Council members did not provide additional details about the vacancy process beyond agreeing to advertise for letters of interest and said staff would accept submissions. The council did not record a formal, recorded motion with roll-call vote in the transcript for the advertising action, but members indicated consensus to proceed.
