Hills council member Willette to leave June 30; council weighing appointment or special election
Summary
Council Member Willette told the council he will move out of town and his last day on the council is June 30; the council said it will decide whether to appoint a replacement or hold a special election and the mayor and a council member will prepare a plan.
Council Member Willette announced during the May 11 meeting that he will be moving out of town and his final day on the Hills City Council will be June 30. Council members discussed options to fill the seat, including appointment or calling a special election, and said the mayor and a council member would develop a plan for how to proceed.
The council did not take a formal vote on how to fill the vacancy at the meeting and did not name a timetable for decisions. The transcript records the announcement and the planning direction but no ordinance or resolution to set the replacement method.
Why it matters: replacing a council seat changes the council’s composition and may affect future votes; residents may expect a public process depending on state and local rules.
