Special election filing information pending court order, clerk says
Summary
A Rose Creek resident asked about filing for a special election; City Clerk Kristine Allas said the city is awaiting a judge’s order after a Jan. 8, 2025 court hearing and will proceed with the election process as state law requires.
During public comment at the Jan. 6 Rose Creek City Council meeting, resident Sheryl Taylor asked for details about the Special Election Notice of Filing for Candidacy. City Clerk/Treasurer Kristine Allas responded that the city expects guidance after a court hearing scheduled for Jan. 8, 2025; she said the city attorney and the county auditor will provide direction once the judge signs the order and that the election process will continue in accordance with state law.
The minutes record the exchange as a request for procedural information rather than a contested motion or vote. No timeline or ballot date was announced in the meeting minutes; the clerk’s comment indicates the next formal step is the outcome of the court proceeding and follow-up from legal and county election officials.
The council did not take any formal action on the question at the meeting and no vote is recorded in the minutes related to the special election. Residents seeking further details are directed to the city clerk’s office and the county auditor after the Jan. 8 court hearing.
