A special election for a vacant council seat is scheduled for December 5. The seat became available after a council member announced a run for mayor. City leaders approved the election date during a special meeting on August 21, opting for a later date than initially considered.

The filing window for candidates is set to open on September 5 and close on October 5. This allows potential candidates more time to prepare and file. Further details about the election and the council seat are available from the city.

The election process is being carefully managed to ensure its integrity and allow qualified individuals to participate.
