MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS Council President Brossard thanked all of the candidates for applying and continued on to state that the City's Charter, nor Council's Rules require any advertising, posting nor interviewing of any candidates, but that Council did post on the City's website to reach any interested residents. Council President then advised all of the process of voting for a new council member as follows: The floor will open for nominations to offer a name to be placed for the At Large seat. Our City Charter and Rules of Council allows for anyone's name to be placed for nomination to fill a spot whether they participated in Council's interview process or not. A council member may ask to be recognized and will place a name for nomination. Members of Council will continue to request to be recognized, and offer names to be nominated as they see fit. When someone's name is placed for nomination, it does not need to be seconded, allowing for one nomination or several. Once Council no longer offers any other nominations, the floor will be closed to nominations. We will then ask the Clerk to call the roll. Once a member's name is called they will then vote for the person they wish to fill the At Large vacancy. If a nominated person receives four votes, then that person will be appointed to the At Large seat to fill the remainder of term. If there are two people who receive three votes, then the President of Council will vote to break the tie. If no one receives four votes and there is not a tie, then we will again open the floor for nominations and Council will begin the process again until a nominee has been chosen with the majority of votes. Council President Brossard asked if Council had any questions for Law Director Gareau, there were none.
