City council took a step forward last week as members move to fill the seat left vacant following the death of Linda Stevenson. Council agreed to appoint an individual to the position in lieu of holding a by-election.
Mayor Joe Preston says the question now before council is how to reach a consensus on who that person should be.
Preston adds he has not heard back from the province on a request to seek an exemption from the 60-day time limit required to fill the seat as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
