The council chose to appoint someone to the seat, but under the rules citizens could still petition for a special election. The term runs until the end of 2022.
Seth Odor resigned from the council earlier this month due to a job change and moving out of the community.
The council will meet on Thursday in a special session and determine an interview process.
Under the Home Rule Charter the council has until February 9th to make the appointment.
