Council declares mayoral vacancy after Mayor Quigley’s resignation
Summary
Council formally declared a vacancy after Mayor Brian Quigley resigned for medical reasons; the council president will act as mayor under the charter until the council appoints a replacement.
Council members acknowledged Mayor Brian Quigley’s resignation for medical reasons and voted to declare the mayor’s office vacant. City counsel explained that Quigley’s resignation was not an "automatic" vacancy under the charter and that the council must formally declare the vacancy; the council president, Sims, will act in the mayoral role per the charter while the council decides whether and how to appoint a successor.
A motion to declare the mayoral vacancy was made and seconded and carried by voice vote; councilors offered tributes and thanks to Quigley for his service. Staff said the council does not need to immediately appoint a replacement and described the procedural steps the charter requires for filling the remainder of the term.
No appointment was made at the meeting; the council discussed the process and indicated follow‑up will occur in accordance with the charter.
