Council deadlocks on appointment to vacant seat; nomination of Dan Wallace fails in 3–3 vote
Summary
Council took a roll‑call vote on a nomination to fill a vacant council seat; the vote resulted in a 3–3 tie and the appointment failed, prolonging the vacancy.
Councilman Johnson nominated Dan Wallace to fill a vacant council seat under section 4.5 of the city charter. Wallace accepted the nomination and said he would serve the remainder of the term if appointed.
A roll‑call vote produced three votes in favor and three opposed, so the appointment did not carry. The council discussed that the charter process requires appointment by majority vote and that the vacancy therefore remains open for future consideration.
