The seat will fill the vacancy left by Meg Marker, who left resigned suddenly in the middle of a city council meeting on Sept. 19.

Marker resigned after voicing strong opposition to a resolution discussion that would've seen the city council possibly adopt regulations that would prohibit council members from entering into contracts where they have a conflict of interest.
