The new council will select a new mayor pro tem, who will become mayor because the mayor's position will be vacant (Section 3.03). Then, the council will appoint a new council member to fill the place vacated by the mayor pro tem, now mayor (Section 3.07). There will be no special election. <br /><br />Section 3.03. Upon a vacancy in the Mayor's position, the Mayor Pro Tem shall fill the unexpired term. The Mayor Pro Tem's council position then becomes vacant.Mark Stegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02376182294736839659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498525082522582900.post-58462791990024912042015-04-02T13:23:09.989-05:002015-04-02T13:23:09.989-05:00Story's moving fast.
