Council to post vacancy and hold Feb. 12 interviews after Amy Stanley's resignation
Summary
The council announced Council Member Amy Stanley's resignation for family and health reasons and agreed to post the vacancy for 14 days and hold an open vacancy meeting to interview applicants on Thursday, Feb. 12 at 6 p.m.
At the Jan. 27 work session, the Mono City Council addressed a newly opened council vacancy after a member submitted a resignation.
Speaker 3 told the council that “Council Member Amy Stanley has submitted her resignation, family and health reasons,” and described the required process: the city must post the vacancy for 14 days, accept applications, and then hold an open vacancy meeting where council members will interview each candidate using a standardized set of questions to ensure fairness.
Members discussed scheduling and related logistics. The council agreed to post the opening the next day and to hold a vacancy meeting on Thursday, Feb. 12 at 6:00 p.m. if finalists are available; speakers noted that if many applicants apply the interview process may require a different format. The clerk/administrator (speaker 3) said she was working with the city attorney on the required notices and the mechanics of the appointment process.
Why it matters: filling a council seat determines representation and who will vote on future city business. The council emphasized a transparent process—14-day public posting, standardized interview questions and an open meeting for candidate interviews.
Next steps: staff will post the vacancy, collect applications, and notify council members of the Feb. 12 interview schedule. The council did not make a final appointment at the work session.
