Council rejects appointment of Carrie Yellott, opts to wait for special election to fill vacancy
Summary
A motion to appoint Carrie Yellott to a council vacancy failed; separately, the council voted to leave the vacancy from Bohn's resignation to be filled by a special election. Both actions are recorded in the April 14 minutes.
The council considered appointing Carrie Yellott to a council vacancy but the motion to appoint Yellott failed (motion recorded in minutes). Separately, the council passed a motion "to not appoint to fill vacancy left by resignation of Bohn, waiting for special election to fill vacancy" (motion by Hawkins, second LaBelle); the minutes record the latter motion as passed (3.0).
The minutes do not record debate, roll-call details for each vote in the excerpt, or the timeline for the special election. The decisions leave the seat vacant until election procedures are completed consistent with city and state law.
