GRAND TERRACE - Council to address filling vacant position
The City Council on Thursday will decide on the procedure for filling a vacant council position. With last month's election of Maryetta Ferre as mayor, her council seat that expires in November 2008 became vacant. The council can fill the vacancy either by appointment or special election.
The election would coincide with the next general election, on April 10. It would cost about $21,000, officials said. An appointment would require the city to request applications, conduct interviews and make a decision within 30 days.
The council has made an appointment the four previous times a vacancy has occurred.
The council meets at 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers, Civic Center, 22795 Barton Road.
