City Council Calls Special Election for Ward 2, Position 1; Appoints Interim Council Member

The City Council passed a resolution to call a special election on November 3rd, 2026, to fill the vacancy for City Council for Ward 2, Position 1. This special election is to fill the remainder of the term following the vacancy. Additionally, the council voted to have Drew Spurgers continue to serve in his current capacity until the special election, at which point the elected official will serve out the remainder of Councilman Sperger's term. The special election will determine who serves the rest of the term until November 2028, and that individual will be eligible to run for re-election. The cost of the special election is expected to be minimal as poll workers and infrastructure are already in place, with only minor charges for ballot preparation.
