Impact analysis
There’s no immediate dollar figure attached—any cost depends on whether the city fills the seat by appointment or a special election.
Anyone angling to fill the open seat—or voters who wanted a change in representation—gets a new opening to influence city decisions.
Residents in the vacated seat temporarily lose a dedicated council voice, and the council could see more tie votes or slower decisions until it’s filled.
