Brookshire council accepts immediate resignation of Councilman Lyndon Stamps
Summary
Councilman Lyndon Stamps formally submitted and the council accepted his immediate resignation from Position No. 2; the council thanked him for his service and no successor was named in the meeting.
Councilman Lyndon Stamps told the Brookshire City Council on April 16 that he had formally submitted a letter of resignation from Position No. 2 on the council and that the resignation was effective immediately. The council moved to accept his resignation; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
During the post-executive-session announcement, Stamps said, "I have formally turned in a letter of resignation tonight for my position, position number 2 for city council." Council members thanked Stamps for his years of service on the council and other local boards; the council did not name a successor or outline the appointment/selection process at the meeting.
Why it matters: A sitting council vacancy creates a need for the council to follow the city charter or state law on filling the seat (appointment or special election, depending on local rules).
