Councilor Jan resigns at-large seat, creating an open council position
Summary
Jan announced she is resigning from her at-large council position, creating a vacancy the council may fill. Members discussed options for resignation in public and the oath procedure for any appointee.
Jan told the council she would "officially resign from my at-large position for the city," creating a council vacancy that the city will fill according to council procedures. Members discussed whether she should resign publicly and confirmed that a councilor cannot hold two council seats at the same time.
Council reviewed the mechanics: the resigning member must vacate the prior seat and then can be sworn into a new seat if appointed. The council indicated it will accept applications for the open seat and encouraged residents to apply when the vacancy posting is published.
