The Washington City Council met Tuesday. On the Agenda were two items for discussion and resolution regarding the appointment of a person to fill the Ward 2 City Council Vacancy. A discussion was had on whether the council should appoint a person or hold a Special election to fill the vacancy. Mayor Rosien states,  “ Passing the resolution to give notice to the Auditor to hold a special election. For the reason of multiple inquiries of qualified candidates, as well as the history of not having consensus on appointment and the fact that appointment can even result in a petition for election. And those reasons alone, I believe, are sufficient to notify the auditor and do an election. A resolution was reached to contact the Washington County Auditor to hold a special election to fill the Ward 2 City Council vacancy. The special election will be held in February.
