Councilmember Justin to leave seat after relocating within Aberdeen
Summary
Councilmember Justin announced he is moving out of the Southwest District and will no longer serve on the city council; he remains an Aberdeen resident.
Councilmember Justin told the City Council on March 3 that he has moved (or is moving) outside the Southwest District and therefore no longer qualifies to represent that seat.
Justin said the move was planned within the last six to eight months when he and his family built a house in the northeast part of town. He said he will remain an Aberdeen resident but cannot continue to serve the Southwest District seat.
Mayor Schoneman and fellow council members thanked Justin for his service. The council did not vote on an interim appointment or replacement at the meeting; no timeline for filling the vacancy was provided on the record.
Why it matters: The council will have to follow its established process to fill a council vacancy for the Southwest District; the transcript did not include next steps or a timetable for appointment or special election.
