However, given the fact the Mayor’s term was only for 2 years the Council <br />recommended the 18-month window be pursued for a special election for the Mayor, <br />should the position become vacant. <br />Reports of Members <br />Amundsen reported he attended the recent Council worksession meeting and explained <br />Councilmember Meehlhause wanted to see action on the Chapter 4 issue.
