Council accepts resignation of council member; seeks applicants to fill vacancy
Summary
Council accepted the resignation of a council member (transcribed as 'Rio', referred to as 'Rico' in discussion), thanked the member for service and set an application deadline (June 25) to recruit a replacement, with the possibility of extension if no candidates apply.
The Norway City Council formally accepted the resignation of a council member referenced in the meeting transcript as both "Rio" and "Rico." Council members praised the departing member’s service and discussed next steps for filling the seat.
Council directed staff to advertise the vacancy with a current application deadline of June 25 and said the deadline may be extended if no applicants apply by that date. Members discussed the importance of keeping the appointment process local and noted that if the council cannot appoint someone, the procedure for filling the seat may involve other authorities (one speaker referenced school‑district practice as different). The council also discussed preparing a plaque and resolution recognizing the member; the resignation effective date was stated in the packet as May 20.
A motion to accept the resignation was made, supported and approved by the members present.
