Mayor Dylan Williams read the official election results for Nov. 5, 2024, during the Dec. 11 special meeting, noting Linda Love received 111 votes for council and Sean Anderson received 106 votes for mayor with write‑ins detailed in the record. The council moved and unanimously approved Resolution 562 to receive the election results for the record.
Shortly after, Williams said the mayor‑elect, Sean Anderson, informed him he would not accept the mayoral position. "He told me that it was because they just adopted a foster child, and he didn't have time," Williams said. The council debated process briefly and then voted to declare the mayoral office vacant; the motion carried on a council roll call.
