10b. Councilmember Benson's Resignation from Council Staff Report
Date of Meeting: September 17, 2024
For: Honorable Mayor and Council
From: Kyle Morell, City Administrator
Subject: Councilmember Benson’s Resignation
Background:
Councilmember Heather Benson has been appointed to fill a vacancy in the 10 th Judicial District.
Due to this appointment, she resigned from her City Council position, effective Thursday,
September 12, 2024. Her term was up at the end of 2024. The Council can appoint a replacement
Councilmember to complete the rest of her term. This would be done by posting for a replacement,
interviewing applicants, and appointing someone from those who interviewed. Or, the Council can
leave the seat vacant until the newly elected council members are sworn in next January.
No action is needed on Councilmember Benson's resignation. At next week's meeting, we can
discuss how or if the Council wants to fill the position.
