A Vacancy on County Council

Councilor Ron Selvage resigned on August 2, which leaves a vacancy on the Council. Under the Charter, the Council will need to appoint a qualified applicant to fill his unexpired term (which ends December 31, 2014). Expect to see the Council discuss the process to be used to fill the vacancy when they meet Tuesday night – it will be the final item on their agenda.
