Ruthven council accepts resignation of Council Member Terrence Williams; plans appointment to fill vacancy
Summary
At its April 8 meeting the Ruthven City Council accepted the resignation of Council Member Terrence Williams and approved a resolution to notify electors that the city intends to fill the vacancy by appointment. Both motions passed unanimously among members present.
Mayor Dustin Johnson announced receipt of a resignation letter from Council Member Terrence Williams at the Ruthven City Council meeting on April 8, 2026. The council voted to accept the resignation and recorded the action as Resolution No. 13-2026.
The acceptance was moved by Mitch Anderson and seconded by Morgan Miller; the minutes record Ayes from Anderson, Hailey Derrickson, Morgan Miller and Maya Naig. Williams was listed as absent. Immediately afterward, the council approved Resolution No. 14-2026, on a motion by Maya Naig and a second from Mitch Anderson, providing notice to the city’s electors of its intent to fill the vacancy by appointment. The same four members present voted in favor; Williams was absent.
The resolutions and the minutes do not specify a timeline for the appointment beyond the statutory notice; the council directed publication of the notice required by Resolution No. 14-2026. The council did not record any discussion about candidates, the appointment process timeline, or a special election at the April 8 meeting.
Next steps recorded in the minutes: the city will publish the notice of intent to fill the vacancy by appointment as directed by Resolution No. 14-2026. No appointment was made at the April 8 meeting.
